Answer 1

34)

An examination of correlation indicated that changes in acceptance were negatively associated with changes in depression,

r[n = 213] = -0.33, p < 0.001

a)

The sample size in this study is 213. i.e., n = 213

b)

The value of the correlation coefficient r = -0.33

The correlation is significant at a 0.05 level of significance. Because the p-value is less than 0.05 level of significance.
