(**) Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed)
(*) Correlation is significant at the 0.05 level (2-tailed)
c. Listwise N = 85
(***) The correlation was at the limits of statistical significance (p=0,07<0,08)
r: Correlation coefficient, r= 0.100 to 0.300 = Weak correlation/relationship
r= 0.300 to 0.500 = Moderate (Fair) relationships/Medium correlation
r= 0.600 and above = Strong relationship/high correlation
