<h3>Psychological perspectives</h3>
The strength of an association between two variables is referred to as a correlation in psychology.
Two variables moving in the same direction indicate a positive correlation. In other words, a positive correlation occurs when a rise in one measure is followed by a rise in another.
If there is a negative correlation, the variables are moving in the opposite direction. When two variables have a negative correlation, changes in one cause changes in the other and vice versa.
The correlation between salary and years of schooling is normally positive, but the correlation between grade point average and daily television viewing is typically negative.
