What did the results of the Holmes-Rahe and Buss-Perry questionnaires suggest?
The results of the Holmes-Rahe and Buss-Perry questionnaires from the 10 participants suggested that there was a correlation between stress and aggression, e.g. one of the lowest Holmes-Rahe scores of 78 also saw one of the lowest Buss-Perry scores of 77, while one of the highest Holmes-Rahe scores of 552 also saw one of the highest Buss-Perry scores of 137
What was the result of the Spearman’s Rho stats test?
The calculated value of the Spearman’s Rho test where N=10 for a two-tailed test at a significance value of p<0.005 was 0.564. The observed value of 0.721 was greater than this critical value, suggesting a significant correlation between stress and aggression
