Variable             Age       #of yrs married         Stress           jobinvolvemen                Performance

Age                   1.0

#of yrs married    .86        1.0

Job involvement .53        .32                         .58               1.0

Performance        .09        .06                          .59              .36                                1.0

All correlations above .30 are significant, at least at the .05 level.

All correlations above .50 are significant, at least at the .01 level

Explanation / Answer

At 0.01 significance level we get to know that the following correlations are significant:

1. The correlation of "age and number of years" is 0.86 which is greater than 0.50

this implies that the age and number of years have a positive strong correlation

.

2. Stress and number of years of marriage have a strong negative correaltion since the value of r = -0.61

.

3. Job involvement and stress are positively correlated with a value of r = 0.58

.

4. Stress and performance are also positively correlated with a value of r = 0.59

.

5. Job involvement and age are positively correlated with r = 0.53

.

At the significance level 0.05 , the followinf correlations are significant:
