520 |a This inquiry provides an assessment of correlation evidence provided in the five-year period of the Journal of Counseling Psychology beginning with the first issue of Volume 41 published in January, 1994. Three research objectives guided the inquiry. The first objective specified and described all 118 articles providing Pearson correlation evidence. The second objective identified and described characteristics for 7,971 Pearson correlation coefficients reported in the 118 articles. The third objective illustrated how to integrate correlations measuring common bivariate constructs. Only one of the 118 articles used probability sampling. While all 118 articles focused primarily on hypothesis testing, none explicitly discussed statistical power. None of the articles used confidence intervals to reflect sampling error, only a few (less than 10%) adequately addressed validity issues and 57 (48%) reported reliability indices for sample data. A total of 5,830 unique bivariate constructs were measured. The most frequent reoccurring bivariate constructs correlated each of Holland's occupational interest themes with one another (used 30 times). Sample sizes for the 7,791 total correlations ranged from a minimum of twelve to a maximum of 18,666. The median sample size was 139 and the average sample size was 271. The final chapter concludes with a detailed discussion of recommendations for future research and research synthesis efforts stemming from the research agenda begun in this inquiry.
