Relations of selected variables and perception of success in volleyball

Abstract:
This study examined the relations of selected variables and the perceived success of 39 college-age subjects participating in a beginning volleyball class. Measures of motor trials, successful motor trials, preclass mood, perceived challenge, perceived behavior of the teacher, and perceived success were taken on 11 separate days during an 8-week class. The mean response for the 11 days was used for statistical analysis. Pearson's product-moment correlations indicated all predictor variables were significantly related to perceived success. A stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that preclass mood was the best predictor of perceived success, with perceived challenge, teacher's perceived behavior, and successful motor trials also entering the regression equation.

Coefficient of Correlation
If you suspect a linear relationship between x and y, then r can measure how strong the linear relationship is.
What the VALUE of r tells us:
The value of r is always between –1 and +1: –1 ≤ r ≤ 1.
The size of the correlation r indicates the strength of the linear...
