Correlation refers to the relationship between two or more variables. Many different forms of correlation exist, but they all reflect a quantitative, statistical means for describing relationships. There are many so‐called univariate (i.e., one variable) statistics which are useful for describing single distributions of scores, including the mean, median, variance, and standard deviation. In contrast, a correlation statistic, as a measure of relationship, is inherently at least bivariate (i.e., two variables) in nature
