Post a behavioral research situation that could use a Pearson coefficient research study and a chi square research study. Present the rationale for each selection. Be very specific in your presentation.

As you complete this assignment, one thing you might find helpful is to keep in mind what the most important differences between Pearson correlations and chi-square tests are. Although they are both measures of association, they are not the same. The same technique I suggested in previous assignments will help here as well: jot down the requirements for each type of test and what the test is used for; this will serve as your guideline for formulating your research situation.

Be sure that your answers are clear. State exactly what you are measuring; what your variables are; what your comparison is.
