Pearson correlation coefficients are shown for each pair wise comparison. A value of greater than zero indicates a positive relationship between the pair and a value of less than zero indicates a negative relationship. The closer the coefficient is to positive or negative one the stronger the relationship between the pair of variables. A coefficient of greater than , positive or negative 0.6 indicates a statistically significant relationship.
