Example of Complex Correlational Research: Relationship Aggression
Jouriles and colleagues conducted a complex correlational study assessing the relationships among adolescents' experiences of physical aggression, psychological aggression, and psychological distress. To handle highly skewed distributions in their aggression measures, they first transformed them into dichotomous (binary) variables ( for did not occur, for did occur) before computing the correlations among the constructs. They ultimately found that experiencing physical aggression was moderately correlated with psychological aggression, which in turn was related to symptoms of psychological distress.
