If measurements for one subject appear on multiple rows -- for example, if you have measurements from different time points on separate rows -- you should reshape your data to "wide" format before you compute the correlations. The Bivariate Correlations window opens, where you will specify the variables to be used in the analysis.
All of the variables in your dataset appear in the list on the left side. To select variables for the analysis, select the variables in the list on the left and click the blue arrow button to move them to the right, in the Variables field. A Variables : The variables to be used in the bivariate Pearson Correlation. You must select at least two continuous variables, but may select more than two.
The test will produce correlation coefficients for each pair of variables in this list. B Correlation Coefficients: There are multiple types of correlation coefficients. By default, Pearson is selected. Selecting Pearson will produce the test statistics for a bivariate Pearson Correlation. C Test of Significance: Click Two-tailed or One-tailed , depending on your desired significance test. SPSS uses a two-tailed test by default.
E Options : Clicking Options will open a window where you can specify which Statistics to include i. Perhaps you would like to test whether there is a statistically significant linear relationship between two continuous variables, weight and height and by extension, infer whether the association is significant in the population. You can use a bivariate Pearson Correlation to test whether there is a statistically significant linear relationship between height and weight, and to determine the strength and direction of the association.
Before we look at the Pearson correlations, we should look at the scatterplots of our variables to get an idea of what to expect. In particular, we need to determine if it's reasonable to assume that our variables have linear relationships. When finished, click OK. To add a linear fit like the one depicted, double-click on the plot in the Output Viewer to open the Chart Editor. Notice that adding the linear regression trend line will also add the R-squared value in the margin of the plot.
If we take the square root of this number, it should match the value of the Pearson correlation we obtain. From the scatterplot, we can see that as height increases, weight also tends to increase. There does appear to be some linear relationship. Select the variables Height and Weight and move them to the Variables box.
In the Correlation Coefficients area, select Pearson. In the Test of Significance area, select your desired significance test, two-tailed or one-tailed. We will select a two-tailed significance test in this example.

Learn How We Do It. On the other hand, the partial correlation measures the degree between two random variables, with the effect of a set of controlling random variables removed. A bivariate correlation is helpful in simple hypotheses-testing of association and causality. It is commonly used in order to see if the variables are related to one another — usually it measures how those two variables change together at the same time.
The purpose of a bivariate analysis is beyond descriptive; it is when multiple relations between multiple variables are examined simultaneously.
An example of bivariate correlation is the length and width of an object. Bivariate correlation helps understand and predict the result of the Y variable when the X variable is arbitrary or when either of the variables are hard to measure.
The test results of this correlation are commonly displayed in a correlation matrix. Partial correlation refers to the relationship between two variables when the effects of one or more related variables are removed.
It is best used in multiple regression. It is a method that is used to describe the relationship between two variables while taking away the effects of another variable or more within a relationship. It collects variables in order to be able to conclude that a collective behavior is among them. Partial correlation is useful for uncovering spurious relationships, and detecting hidden relationships too. The difference between bivariate correlation and partial correlation is that bivariate correlation is used to obtain correlation coefficients, basically, describing the measure of the relationship between two linear variables, while partial correlation is used to obtain correlation coefficients after controlling for one or more variables.
