Detailed explanation-1: -A positive or direct relationship exists between intelligence and academic success. This means that if a person has a high intelligence quotient, they are likely to experience high academic success. Therefore, researchers are less likely to receive a negative correlation between intelligence and academic success.
Detailed explanation-2: -What does a positive correlation mean? A Positive Correlation is a steady relationship between two variables in the same direction, meaning that as the value of one variable increases, the value of the other increases as well. (And as the value of one variable decreases, so does the other).
Detailed explanation-3: -Give an example of a positive correlation. Exists when one variable decreases as the other variable decreases, or one variable increases while the other increases. For example, there is a positive correlation between smoking and alcohol use. As alcohol use increases, so does smoking.
Detailed explanation-4: -Conclusion: Findings from correlational research can be used to determine prevalence and relationships among variables, and to forecast events from current data and knowledge.
Detailed explanation-5: -Correlational research involves measuring two variables and assessing the relationship between them, with no manipulation of an independent variable.
