“…Finally, because this exploratory study is first and foremost interested in the relationship between two variables and its primary interest is not the effect of one (or more) variable(s) on another (dependent) variable, I chose to focus on a correlation analysis and not to run a regression analysis (le Cessie et al, 2021). A correlation matrix is useful to summarize a large amount of data and to see patterns in the relationship between variables.…”

Relational legal consciousness in the punitive welfare state: How Dutch welfare officials shape clients' perceptions of law

With a growing number of strict obligations and harsh sanctions for welfare recipients, the Netherlands has increasingly become a punitive welfare state. This article looks at what this means for welfare clients and their commonsense understandings of the law. To analyze how welfare officials shape clients' legal consciousness, I draw on an online survey among Dutch welfare clients (N = 1305) and a correlation analysis. The findings show that there is a clear relationship between welfare clients' own legal consciousness and their assessment of welfare officials' beliefs about the law. However, not all elements of their legal consciousness are relationally influenced by the same factors. Also, clients' self‐reported compliance behavior is less relationally influenced than other elements of their legal consciousness. This study adds to our understanding of the mechanisms that constitute the production of relational and second‐order legal consciousness and it contributes to the development of new research methods to study people's perceptions of law.

“…The statistical significance of a relationship ( p value) between two variables being different than zero would be the same if either a Pearson r correlation or simple linear regression are used on the same data. If the intention of a study is to demonstrate the relationship between two normally distributed variables, then either method would be sufficient; however, correlations are generally more problematic to compare across studies because they are more dependent on the range in data (le Cessie et al, 2021). This is the challenge that wastewater utilities and state regulators are facing when interpreting the term “correlation” in the Clean Water Act.…”

The 5-day biochemical oxygen demand (BOD 5 ) and carbonaceous BOD 5 (CBOD 5 ) tests are widely used parameters for monitoring wastewater. Total organic carbon (TOC) has many advantages over these tests. Wastewater utilities have conducted studies to modify National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits to allow TOC analysis; however, statistical methods vary across studies. This study examined parametric and nonparametric correlation and parametric, nonparametric, and nonlinear regression methods for analysing BOD 5 , CBOD 5 , and TOC concentrations collected for 1 year from seven wastewater treatment plants from the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago. Spearman ρ correlation and Theil-Sen regression on log-transformed concentrations were the most appropriate methods. Correlation coefficients were 0.83 or greater and regression residuals were as small as or smaller than the other two methods. This study demonstrated that nonparametric methods performed best for analysing non-normal data in seeking to incorporate TOC analysis into NPDES reporting.
