Hi everyone!
I am currently working on a study and looking to see if there is a difference in the strength of relationship between personal values of masculinity versus environmental values to masculinity on individuals tendencies to seek help for mental health related concerns. I have run two correlations (one between attitudes and personal values, the other between attitudes and environmental values) and have found only the correlation between attitudes and personal values to be statistically significant. I'm wondering if being that there is only a significant correlation between one independent variable and the dependent variable, is there a need to compare correlation coefficients to determine if there is a statistically significant difference in strength?
Of note, the sample size is the same for both correlations. If it isn't needed great! However, if it is still a needed, how do I got about this?
Thank you all in advance for your help! :)
You can do this, but I would hesitate to do so if it was not in your original analysis plan and there is no obvious reason to do test this.
