The relationship between an employee's participation in the performance appraisal process and subsequent subordinate reactions toward the appraisal was investigated in the Journal ofApplied Psychology (Aug. 1998). In Chapter 9 we will discuss a quantitative measure of the relationship between two variables, called the coefficient of correlation r. The researchers obtained r for a sample of 34 studies that examined the relationship between appraisal participation and a subordinate's satisfaction with the appraisaLThese correlations are listed in the table. (Values of r near + 1 reflect a strong positive relationship between the variables.) A MINITAB printout showing a 95% confidence interval for the mean of the data is provided below. Locate the 95% confidence interval on the printout and interpret it in the words of the problem.
