Hi members,
I had submitted a paper to a journal, to check the impact of 3 IVs on 1 DV. All variables were 5 Likert scale (strongly disagree 1 to strongly agree 5).
I have assessed Pearson correlation in SPSS. Now reviewers commented.
"Pearson correlation coefficients are not a good idea for likert scale variables. Use cramers v. "
What you suggest.
Thank you.

Brother the good idea is to first check the distribution of your data.May be your data follow non-normal distribution.For likert scale data the suitable analysis is Spearman rank correlation rather than Pearson correlation..Cramers V can also use.
