Abstract:
Contradictory claims exist as to whether field dependence or field independence is advantageous to team ball-game performance.

No significant correlation was found; discussion followed.

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...
