CORRELATION BETWEEN STRESS AND MINDFULNESS

Assumptions and Hypotheses:

• Independent random samples
• Nominal level of measurement

support the claim that stress level is dependent on mindfulness.

A WEAK relationship occurs between gender and stress.

The test showed that stress and mindfulness are dependent on each other. But it is still

unsure which of the two is the IV and which is the DV.
