What method of analysis should I employ in testing my hypothesis?

This is my first experience in data collection using standardized questionnaires. I actually want to investigate if life satisfaction is positively related to experience of gratitude. I have 50 respondents. I have tabulated their scores already. Should I use the Correlation Coeffecient (Pearson) as my method of analysis to get the answer to my hypothesis?

As long as you're not trying to prove that one causes the other, a simple correlational analysis will let you see if there is a positive or negative relation. And yes, by simple I mean calculating the Pearson correlation coefficient.
Reply:yes, any time you are looking for a relationship between two variables you should use the correlation coefficient.
Reply:You kind of got the the idea already. but your hypothesis should be the start of what you have just explained here. I can give you example of a hypothesis for your experiment. Well, you know what after re-reading your explanation again. Your second sentence already is your hypothesis, only you worded it in a question. Let us know what your conclusion is. We'll gladly want to hear from you. but you know something, I think your data you collected would give you an inference of close to +1 once you're done with your calculations. It's obvious too that there'll be a positive correlation, but that is to be expected. Good enough, yes?
Reply:sure.


my brain hurts- your so smart already
