DB-DISCUSSION BOARD

Correlational Research

Being able to statistically analyze data is only part of the skillset needed to be successful in the workplace. What do the results mean and how can they be applied by management?

MAIN DISCUSSION POST: Due by Sunday

• Paragraph 1: Briefly describe correlational research. (Research is required)
• Paragraph 2: Select a variable from the study used in this course and one from the workplace that might prove to provide a correlational relationship. Explain why you would choose these two?
• Paragraph 3: How would the results of this survey be used in the workplace?

This post must be 3 paragraphs in length. Since you are doing research, there must be citations in the body of the post and a reference list at the end. The goal is to apply learned concepts in order to show your understanding. You should steer away from quotations; they do not showcase your knowledge.

INTERACTIVE RESPONSES: Due by Sunday

Interactive Reply 1:

Select one student’s post on a workplace application. Assess if it is fully explained.

Interactive Reply 2:

Read another student’s post and compare the variables that each of you chose to provide a correlational relationship. What similarities or differences exist?

Each post should be one paragraph in length (75 words) and must be substantive in nature

Use of unoriginal text and excessive quotes indicates a lack of comprehension and shows that you may not have mastered the concepts.

For assistance with your assignment, please use your text, Web resources, and all course materials.
