Uses of the Partial Correlation
• Determine the correlation between two variables after removing the influence of (i.e., controlling for) at least one other variable.
• Test the hypothesis that there is no linear relationship between two variables in the population after controlling for at least one other variable (e.g., zero correlation in the population between variables 1 and 2 controlling for variable 3; r12.3 = 0).

In this example, we will test the following null hypothesis:Ho: There is no linear relationship between perceived learningand classroom community in online students (variables 1 and
2) after controlling for a third variable GPA (i.e., r12.3 = 0).
Select and move Perceived Learning [p_learning],Classroom Community [c_community], and GPA [gpa] to the
appropriate boxes as indicated; click OK.

We will choose a = .05 for a two-tailed test (i.e., we are interested if thepartial correlation is either positive or negative). The significance value of “.000”indicates a significance level < .001, which is less than .05; therefore, we reject
Ho and conclude that there is a statistically significant relationship betweenperceived learning and classroom community after controlling for GPA.
Note that the partial correlation is positive thereby indicating a directrelationship between perceived learning and classroom community.
