Practice with correlation coefficients

Using the table that appears below each pair of variables, please state the direction and strength (using Cohen’s rules of thumb) of each correlation coefficient, r. Assume all coefficients are statistically significant at p < .05.
Then, interpret the correlation. Please describe the pattern, conceptually, without using the word “correlated” in your description.

3. Self-focus, charitable donations: r = -.28
