Visual Representation of Correlation

Visual representation refers to the use of graphs, charts, and tables for those who research to give out correlational data visually. The use of these charts, graphs, and tables is beneficial in presenting data that can be easily used in the analysis of data and concluding. There are five explained visual representations of correlations.

The first visual Correlation that was researching about parents watching and the insights of parental young offenders who walk with weapons. The representation of the offenders includes graphs, functions, and tables, which are used to give out the findings that support how parents who have children carrying weapons and do fight have improved frustrations about it (Calhoun et al., 2015). Data represented in the graphs are well represented as the graphs show the means and standard deviation of the variables from the results, and this will make it easy for comparisons and identification.

The second representation is the effect of supposed nurturing practices on depression and substance abuse in African-American teenagers. The article represents a table that shows the correlational data between how the parents are involved, both paternal and maternal. The research findings revealed that, according to the table, there is an involvement of maternal parents in cases of depression. In contrast, in the cases of the drug and substance abuse, there is an involvement of paternal parents (Caldwell et al., 2006). The correlation table makes the data well represented easy to understand the data. The greatest way to improve the table is to increase the table's color, which makes it more appealing to the eye.

The third representation is a peer journal which explains the courses of school and the public involvement in adolescents of different gender and wrong behavior. A table was used in the visual representation of this data. The research findings are centered on the data that was placed in the table, representing the parameters of bad behaviors in adolescents in schools (Bolland et al., 2016). The data that was represented by the table was perfect and very rational because of the headers and the labels. The clarity of the table can be developed by decreasing the amount of labels in the table.

The other representation is a journal authored by Stavros Kiriakidis, which studies the expectation of wrong purposes to be repeated, look for them from the interactive, normative, and control opinions (Kiriakidis, 2010). Tables used the demonstrations of these findings, and the tables have a connection to the results that were acquired. The tables are very clear and logical as they are characterized by the keys that explain the sections very well. The representations can be developed by classification of the sections of the table instead of using the key in the tables.

The last representation in the article studies the views of the society of justice for the adolescents accused of murder. The Correlation was done visually was done by tables. The table represents the percentage of respondents that endorse the adult courts for the first and the repeat juvenile offenders. The table represents the assumption that was found and shows that more defendants choose adult courts for those young lawbreakers who repeat the offending (Stalans & Henry, 1994). The table is clear and easy to read through it. However, the table has the tendency to be wordy and difficult to read through for some. The representation of the table can be improved by reducing the words in the table.
