The correlation matrix shows the correlation between each pairwise
combination of variables.
For example, the correlation between s1 (“ … with Oddjob Airways you will
arrive on time.”) and s2 (“ … the entire journey with Oddjob Airways will occur
as booked.”) is 0.739, which indicates a strong relationship according to Cohen
(1988).
As indicated by the two asterisks, the correlation is significant at a 1 % level.
