Question

I showed you a curvilinear relationship between age and memory. Now, I want you come up with two variables that you think might have a curvilinear relationship (not a linear relationship)! Write down your answers for your Pause-Problem (Note: I am actually looking for only one real answer here. You need two variables in this one answer, as I need to see how one variable correlates with the second).

Answer 1

Explanation:

Curvilinear relationship

A curvilinear relationship is a type of relationship in which there are two variables. As and when the value of one variable increases, so does the value of the other. This continues until a certain point, after which an increase in one variable decreases the value of the other.

Example:

The two variables are - Work pressure and work performance. As work pressure increases, work performance increases until a certain point. After a threshold, when work pressure exceeds, work performance drops. This results in a curvilinear relationship between the two variables.
