The aysmmetry of the distribution; positive values indicate a build-up of high scores, while negative values indicate too low scores
The heaviness of the tails in the distribution; positive values indicate a heavy-tailed distribution, while negative values indicate a light-tailed distribution
The more likely it is that the data are not nromally distributed
a significance level greater than 1.96 indicates significance (p<.05)
assesses whether scores are significantly different from a normal distribution
to detect differences from normality and has more power than the K-S test
the assumption that the spread of scores is roughly equal at different parts of the predictor variable
by plotting standardised values against standardised residuals
to test the assumption of homogeneity of variance
indicates that the variances are significantly different across groups
the largest group variance divided by the smallest, and it should be smaller than critical values for homogeneity to be assumed
a standardised measure of the linear relationship between two variables ranging from -1 to +1
the strength and direction of the relationship: +1 indicates a perfect positive relationship, -1 indicates a perfect negative relationship, 0 indicates no linear relationship
+/-0.1 represents a small effect, +/-0.3 is a medium effect, and +/-0.5 is a large effect
a non-parametric statistic used to assess the relationship between two ordinal variables
quantifies the relationship between a continuous variable and a discrete dichotomy
quantifies the relationship between a continuous variable and a continuous dichotomy
the relationship between two variables while accounting for the effects of a third variable
the relationship between two variables while accounting for the effects of a third variable on only one of the original variables
visualises the relationship between two variables and helps identify outliers that might bias the relationship
assesses the significance of the relationship between two categorical
if the exact sig. value is less than 0.05
ensure that no expected frequencies are less than 5
the strength of the relationship; values greater than 1 suggest a shift towards the alternative hypothesis
predicts the outcome variable based on one or more predictor variables
the proportion of variance in the outcome variable that is explained by the predictor variable
when predictor variables correlate too highly with each other, which can distort the results
values less than 10 indicate no cause for concern regarding multicollinearity
standardised residuals that exceed absolute values of 2 or 2.5, which may indicate outliers
