Question

Dr. Gomez conducts a study examining the relationship between the number of friends one has and the experience of daily stress and life satisfaction. She randomly samples 1,500 elderly men and women in Nashville, Tennessee (the state capital), located in the southern United States. Below are her findings. • Life satisfaction and experience of daily stress: r = −.57 (p = .01) • Number of friends one has and experience of daily stress: r = .09, not sig. • Number of friends one has and life satisfaction: r = .36 (p = .04) Comparing all three correlations, Dr. Gomez will be most able to accurately predict life satisfaction from the experience of daily stress because the relationship:________.

Answer 1

The relationship has the largest effect size.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we are given in the question above the following information or data;

(1). That the ''randomly samples 1,500 elderly men and women in Nashville, Tennessee (the state capital), located in the southern United States".

(2). Life satisfaction and experience of daily stress: r = −.57 (p = .01).

(3). "Number of friends one has and experience of daily stress: r = .09, not sig."

(4) ,"Number of friends one has and life satisfaction: r = .36 (p = .04) ".

Hence, if we compare all these correlations, Dr. Gomez will be most able to accurately predict life satisfaction from the experience of daily stress because the relationship HAS THE LAGEST EFFECT SIZE.

When people experience stress daily they develop lesser satisfaction. Scatterplot can be created for the relationship. So, if you look at the 3 correlations and the size given we can be be able to predict life satisfaction from the experience of daily stress
