This document discusses how to report the results of a Pearson correlation analysis in APA style. It provides an example of a problem investigating the relationship between broccoli extract consumption and well-being scores. The template shown reports that a strong positive correlation was found between broccoli extract consumption and well-being (r = .88, p < .05).
