This tutorial is designed to help students and researchers understand: the data type required for the test, the assumptions of the test, the data set-up for the test, and how to run and interpret the test.

  • VideoSpearman Correlation

    The purpose of this video is to explain how to conduct a Spearman correlation test using SPSS (requires two ordinal or continuous variables). This test can be used as the non-parametric alternative to a Pearson correlation. This tutorial is designed to help students and researchers understand: the data type required for the test, the assumptions of the test, the data set-up for the test, and how to run and interpret the test.
