Interpreting Correlations When you encounter correlations, there are four additional considerations that you should bear in mind: 1. Correlation simply describes a relationship between two variables. It does not explain why the two variables are related. Specifically, a correlation should not and cannot be interpreted as proof of a cause-and-effect relationship between the two variables. 2. The value of a correlation can be affected greatly by the range of scores represented in the data.
