Relationship Wallets

ABSTRACT This paper reviewed importance of correlation studies in educational research. The paper concluded that correlation is used to find relationship between variables, determined degree of association etc. and recommendation was made at the end of the paper. INTRODUCTION Correlational study is very important in research. This is obvious in the ways it has been used in researches today in sciences, education, engineering etc. correlational study is used to find relationships between variables, degree of relationships, association among parameters, existing influences between variables, determine the degree of freedom, variability in performance, strength of variations in strength of relationships. The correlation is one of the most common and most useful statistics. A correlation is a single number that describes the degree of relationship between two variables. IMPORTANCE OF CORRELATION Darko and Ansa-Asare (2009) cited the use of correlation to establish relationships and interactions between parameters. Correlation does not only used to find out relationship that exists between variables, it can also be used to determine the degree of relationships and variability between students’ performance in examination as opined by Oluwatayo (2007). Abe (2007) confirmed that correlation can be used to determine the strength of relationship between subjects and variations in strength of relationships of scores in subjects. Correlation is a good instrument to be used to analyse relationship between performances of students as observed by Ige (2007). Boampong, Acquah and Achiamaa (2009) used correlation to assess linear association among studied quantitative parameters. Boampong, Acqua, Sam-Awortwi and Ofori (2010) stated that correlation could be used to test for association among measured parameters. Correlation allows the researcher to investigate naturally occurring variables that maybe unethical or impractical to test experimentally. For example, it would be unethical to conduct an experiment on whether smoking causes lung cancer. Mcleod (2008) opined that correlation identifies variables and looks for a relationship between them. Correlation allows the researcher to clearly and easily see if there is a relationship between variables. This can then be displayed in a graphical form. The correlation is one of the most common and most useful statistics. He stressed further that correlation is a single number that describes the degree of relationship between two variables. Lanthier (2011) looked at correlation as a way to measure how associated or related two variables are. She explains further that in a correlational study, the researcher is measuring conditions that already exist and finding out in what way pairs of variables are related. Lanthier (2011) opined that the researcher looks at things that already exist and determines if and in what way those things are related to each other and that, purpose of doing correlations is to allow us to make a prediction about one variable based on what we know about another variable. She believed when we know there is a correlation between two variables, we can make a prediction. We can make predictions about things when we know about correlations. If two variables are correlated, we can predict one based on the other. Mcleod (2008) observed that an important area where correlation is widely used is in the study of intelligence where research has been carried out to test the strength of the association between the I.Q. levels of identical and non-identical twins. Correlation research is a form of analysis in which you correlate one variable with another to determine if there is a relationship between them. It is used as a first step prior to experimentation, when experiments cannot be conducted (for ethical or practical reasons). In correlation research you do not manipulate a variable, you gather information through: Observation, Surveys or Questionnaires, and Information Correlation is concerned with describing the degree of relationship between variables. Researchers can use one variable to make predictions about another variable, that correlation can be used to find interrelation between variables. Minium, King & Bear (1993) posited that correlation can be used mainly to determine the degree of association between variables, and also to make prediction about an event. To establish reliability of a test, for example, we would want to know the extent of initial performance on the same test at a subsequent time. Minium et al (1993) opined that correlation is used in determining the degree of association between two variables and predicting a person’s standing in associated variable. John and Arthur (1991) viewed that when two variables are examined for their correlation; it is usually for the purpose of predicting one of them. Most correlation studies are initiated based on the desire to examine and explain the changing value of this variable. Horst (1963) said correlation measures the co variation in the magnitude of two things. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION Correlation is very important in educational research as it could be used to find out relationship between variables, determine degree of association, for prediction about one variable and strength of a relationship. Having reviewed role of correlation in educational research it is therefore suggested that institutions of learning should design a course especially for correlation study. This will help students to apply correlation statistics correctly in research.

This article deals with the issue of the choice of law ruling the economic relationship between foreign married partners who are resident in Italy. The Italian law 218 of the 1995 reforming the international private law determines the field of application of the Italian jurisdiction and the criteria to individuate the applicable law.

Concerning the economic relationship between married couples, if they have the same nationality, the common national law of the two partners will be enforced. In case the two partners have two different citizenships, it will be enforced the law of the state where the marriage predominantly takes place.

The Italian law offers a further opportunity: The two partners may agree in a written form that their economic affairs will be regulated by the law of the state of which at least one of them is citizen. Such a choice has to occur not only in written form but also at the presence of an Italian notary public. In case the choice will fall on the Italian law it’s important to explain the way the Italian law regulates economic relationships in reference with the purchase of real estate properties. The general principle is the one of the legal communion; as a consequence if two married partners will buy a property it will belong to the both of them in equal proportion.

An alternative possibility would be the separation of goods, in such case it will be possible to register to property in the name of just one partner. Summarizing, if a foreign married couple will decide to regulate its economic affairs according to the Italian law, they will have to do it with a public deed at the presence of an Italian notary public. In such context they will have the chance for a further possibility concerning the ownership of their properties; choosing either the communion, or the separation or even the trust.

If you have found yourself in a Scorpio relationship you better be prepared to be brave. Dont get me wrong, Scorpios are very loyal and can make wonderful companions, but in the heat of things when times might be tough you may end up being the one who gets fiercely stung.

Scorpios love to be the one controlling their environment and are the take charge kind
of person in any relationship. So you have to be tough and not give in on everything they want. You must understand a Scorpio’s nature and then you will know why they seem to want to take the lead with everything that is going on.

This does not mean you cant feel the need to ever take charge of anything. You will need to bravely express yourself when you want to do so. In this way you will actually win your Scorpio’s admiration, because aside from being natural leaders themselves, they also love it when someone else shows moxie and drive. Scorpios may want to take over everything but they lack determination and toughness many times. Show that and you can get on their good side.

Scorpios are attracted to a challenge, so it is wise for you to play hard to get sometimes. Just dont go overboard as they may eventually think you are not interested in them, and that would be a turnoff for them.

You dont want to heat things up too much in a relationship with a Scorpio, but you do want to keep it interesting enough to keep them excited. Assert yourself at times but not overly so. Scorpios are not necessarily aggressive so they like to win people over by diplomatic means more often. If you are too resistant to them too often, it will cause an argumentative relationship.

On a positive side Scorpios are usually generous partners and good loyal companions. They may even be slow to temper. But this sign of the sun person will get madly temperamental if pushed too long. It will not be a pretty sight when a Scorpio finally does get angry. They may seethe beneath their skin for a long time.

Some, but not many, Scorpios are of the forgiving type. This means if you mess up your relationship with them they most likely will hold a grudge for along time, if not forever. After a breakup if you were to talk to them again they usually will bring up all the wrong things you did that ended the relationship. You will feel like the entire breakup was your fault. Scorpios usually find it hard to forget and forgive.

One frustrating Scorpio tendency that you may encounter is this. They may be stomping around angry and you may have no clue what is wrong. When you ask what the problem is they may respond, “Can’t you figure it out?” This is just them assuming you know what has been on their mind.

If you have broken up with a Scorpio but manage to win him or her back you should keep in mind their personality. A Scorpio will assume you should be able to read their thoughts in every situation. Keep that in mind, and all the things in this article, when dealing with them if you want the relationship to work.

The only way to make things easier in this relationship situation is to let your Scorpio partner know that they need to communicate better when something is on their mind. Let them know you are not a mind reader. On your part you will have to be a very good listener and observer. You’ll need the ability to second-guess potential problems. If your Scorpio is not willing to work with you in your relationship it will be hard to get it to work out in the long run.

My lover is not Loyal to Me “, a girl assumed. Before you tell the break up idea and shatter her feelings more, attempt to advise these six steps to salvage the mutual understanding.

Your closest colleague whos sitting right in front of you, broke the news of unexpected betrayal. It was obvious she was trying to hold back the painful tears of unfaithfulness. Feeling angered, you wanted to convince her to dump him but that was quite harsh to tell to someone who puts so much hope in a relationship. So you thought of alternatives that would iron things out for her.

Feel the pain.

When someone you love fools around, you either get so disappointed it hurts you or so mad it hurts you still. The bottom line is theres no way of escaping the pang of disloyalty. Instead of refusing to admit it, acknowledge its within you. Sob your heartaches out, write every letter of pain in your diary and yes, you may show that sad look on your face. Not recognizing the anguish wont get you to the solution of the problem.

Dont put yourself down.

The issue may affect your self-esteem and it may cause self-pity. When feelings like these tend to develop, give yourself some respect, the value that he should have observed in your relationship. Stop thinking somebody else deserves his affection because of your flaws. Blaming yourself solely for his dissatisfaction will only hinder you from evaluating events and facts.

Have a break.

When youre not prepared to see your partner yet, do something else to reinvigorate yourself. An old hobby, a hilarious movie or a good read might temporarily ease your misery. But be reminded that prolonging this wont solve the real issue. If you continue presenting yourself in an unaffected mode, he might take advantage of your tolerance and make the situation worse.

Make the confrontation healthy.

The boyfriend-is-cheating-on-me matter wont be resolved by snooping over his emails or text messages to prove what hes guilty of. Without attacking him or defending yourself, discuss what the problem really is. Stay calm during your conversation and buckle up your maddened spirit in the backseat. He must elaborate the factors why he strayed. He will only tell you if you look calm enough to understand. Addressing the behavior and not the person will help you deal with the problem objectively.

Make decisions.

If your boyfriend asks for forgiveness for the hurt he has caused you, dont just let him promise he will never do such mistake again. Ask him to make decisions to strengthen your relationship. Emphasize that doing the same old habits will only put your relationship on the rocks and will not do you any good. He should give details of his appointments and the people hes meeting. As he talks, listen to his words and the underlying intentions. If he isnt, dont let him pull your legs once more.

Rebuild trust.

Regaining lost trust has never been easy. Once your boyfriend two-times you, its just difficult to have faith in him again. Time plays a great factor in healing the wound. You will recover faster though if hes always true to his words in his second chance. If the past continuously haunts you, try to focus on his positive side and your wonderful memories together. Nothing can be done with the past but your heart has instincts whether he deserves your regained trust or not.

When your buddy says, “My boyfriend is cheating on me,” she is certainly having a hard time. Listen to her as she relay the heartbreaking story and remind her that raising the middle finger in anger and kicking him out of her life are not the only alternatives. Who knows, giving him a chance to make up for his stupid mistake might lead your relationship to a stronger path.
