q2 · i1 · associational · r1
Correlation analysis (Pearson, N=301) after Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests showed all variables normally distributed (all p > .05). Table 4 reports perennialism-authority r=.479, idealism-authority r=.512, realism-authority r=.578, all significant at the 0.01 level; the text calls these "a medium level of positive relationship".
"Considering the teaching styles of teachers who adopt perennialist philosophy, the highest level of relationship is with authoritarian teaching style (r= 0.479)."
