1. A researcher is interested in the relationship between test anxiety and study time on test performance. Test anxiety, defined as a type of anxiety that is triggered by the anticipation or experience of taking tests, was measured on a 0-100 scale via a Test Anxiety Questionnaire (higher scores indicating greater/more anxiety). Study time, defined as the amount of time a student devoted to studying/reviewing material for the test, was measured in hours (spent studying/reviewing material). Test performance was the test score students received on the test, out of 100 marks. Assume an alpha level of .05. If there are issues with the data file images and they can't be copied, PLEASE just explain how the questions would be answered, no need to physically use jamovi. a) Assuming a linear relationship between all three variables of interest, request a correlation matrix from jamovi and comment on the strength, direction, and significance of all three zero-order correlation coefficients provided to you in jamovi. Please note, a screenshot of the jamovi correlation matrix must be included b) Imagine that the researcher is primarily interested in the relationship between test anxiety and test performance. Re-state the correlation between test anxiety and test performance (obtained from jamovi), calculate the r2 value, and explain what this tells us about these two variables. c) Conduct a partial correlation in jamovi to examine the relationship between test anxiety and test performance, controlling for study time. Include a screenshot of your jamovi partial correlation table as your answer to this question d) Using the correlation coefficients from the correlation matrix you requested from jamovi in question 1a), calculate the partial correlation coefficient by hand using the appropriate formula. Verify you calculation matches that obtained in question 1c). Hint: retain 3 decimal points in all components of formula for precision. Note: you do not have to calculate the zero-order correlation coefficients by hand, rather you can use the zero-order correlation coefficients given to you by jamovi in the correlation matrix to compute the partial correlation coefficient. e) Based on the results of your partial correlation analysis, does controlling for study time influence the relationship between test anxiety and test performance? Explain how you interpreted the partial correlation coefficient and arrived at your conclusion.
