This entry first presents the scatterplot, which offers a visual representation of the direction and magnitude of correlation coefficients. Then, it moves on to introduce different types of correlation, factors affecting correlation, and guidelines for interpreting correlation coefficients. It concludes with a discussion on the use of correlation, from simple bivariate relationships to more complex models such as the cross‐lagged panel design and the multi‐trait multi‐method (MTMM) model.
