After analysis of the data on mindfulness practice and emotional resilience, the researchers obtained a calculated value of rs=0.595r_s = 0.595rs​=0.595.

Using the information in Table 2 below, what conclusion can the researchers draw about the relationship between the number of hours of weekly mindfulness practice and the emotional resilience scores of the healthcare workers? Explain your answer.

Table 2: Critical values for a Spearman's rho (rsr_srs​) test

Level of significance for a two-tailed test
0.100.050.020.01
Level of significance for a one-tailed test
0.050.0250.010.005
N=110.5360.6180.7090.764
120.5030.5870.6780.734
130.4840.5600.6480.703

Note: The calculated value of rs r_s\,rs​ must EQUAL or EXCEED the critical value for significance at the level shown. The researchers used a directional (one-tailed) hypothesis with N=12N = 12N=12 and selected a significance level of p≤0.05p \le 0.05p≤0.05.
