Directions: Read the formulation of a research topic below and respond to question 1 Research Question: What is the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and academic achievement in undergraduate healthcare administration students? EI will be measured by the Mayer-Salovey-Caruso Emotional Intelligence Test (MSCEIT). Academic achievement will be measured by current GPA. Hypotheses: H1: There is a statistically significant relationship between student MSCEIT scores and current GPA. H0: There is no statistically significant relationship between student MSCEIT scores and current GPA. H2: Student characteristics affect academic achievement. H0: Student characteristics do not affect academic achievement. Justification: Research suggests that student understanding and management of emotions are clearly linked with academic achievement (MacCann, Fogarty, Zeidner & Roberts, 2010). Additionally, it is hypothesized that higher emotional intelligence could predict grades via a link to coping with stressors such as assessments, group collaborations and the emotional demands of academic life (MacCann et al., 2010). While this concept has received attention from the fields of economics, social and emotional learning and positive psychology (MacCann et al., 2010), it has not been studied specifically in health care administration students. What are the dependent variable(s) in this study?
Correlation
Correlation defines a relationship between two independent variables. It tells the degree to which variables move in relation to each other. When two sets of data are related to each other, there is a correlation between them.
Linear Correlation
A correlation is used to determine the relationships between numerical and categorical variables. In other words, it is an indicator of how things are connected to one another. The correlation analysis is the study of how variables are related.
Regression Analysis
Regression analysis is a statistical method in which it estimates the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variable. In simple terms dependent variable is called as outcome variable and independent variable is called as predictors. Regression analysis is one of the methods to find the trends in data. The independent variable used in Regression analysis is named Predictor variable. It offers data of an associated dependent variable regarding a particular outcome.
