Elena investigated whether there was a relationship between attitudes to societal rule-bending and parts of the personality (id, ego, and superego) according to Freud.
Participants completed a personality questionnaire to determine how strongly they were dominated by the 'superego'. The questionnaire was scored out of 15, with 15 being strongly dominated by the 'superego'.
They also completed a questionnaire about how they felt about bending societal rules to achieve personal goals. The questionnaire was scored out of 15, with 15 being completely in favour of rule-bending.
Questions:
Write a suitable non-directional hypothesis for Elena's investigation.
Explain why a Spearman's rho test would be appropriate to analyse the relationship between these two variables.
