Online resources: This dataset example introduces researchers to the Spearman rank-order correlation coefficient. This measures the level of association between two variables which should be ordinal, interval or ratio-level. The Spearman rank-order correlation coefficient assesses whether a positive or negative monotonic relationship exists between the two variables. This example uses a subset of data from the General Social Survey 2012. We explore whether there is a relationship between a person's income (ratio) and their perception that normal citizens can influence politics (ordinal). This represents a salient issue in modern-day governing since it aims to establish whether politics is perceived to work differently for those with differing incomes.
