My hypothesis is: There is a significant correlation between serotonin levels/activity and the severity of depressive symptoms, as measured by standardized depression scales. Furthermore, pharmacological interventions targeting serotonin neurotransmission will result in a statistically significant reduction in depressive symptom scores compared to a control group receiving a placebo treatment.
This revised hypothesis allows for the incorporation of statistical analysis by predicting a correlation between serotonin levels/activity and depressive symptoms, as well as predicting a statistically significant difference in depressive symptom reduction between the treatment and control groups. Statistical methods such as correlation analysis and inferential tests (e.g., t-tests or ANOVA) can be employed to test these predictions.
I need a Correlation analysis on people to be done in this assignment.
Below I will copy and paste an example of a methods/results section of a paper that will be a guide for this assignment:
Method
Participants & Design
Participating will be recruited via a LinkedIn advertisement promoting a study designed to evaluate workplace relationship satisfaction; deception will be used to reduce the likelihood of demand characteristics. I expect 1,000 individuals to participate (Female = 500, Male = 500) with ages ranging from 18-57 to reach the pole ends of the youngest and oldest generations (Gen Z and Baby Boomers). Participants will be required to have maintained a work position at the same company for at least 30 days to be eligible for the study.
This study is a 2×2 design utilizing the variables: age of participants (split into younger generations 18-40 and older generations 41-57) versus age of coworkers (age within 10 years of participant, age older/younger of participant by 10 years). This research will also contain manipulation checks for the participant by asking their age followed by the age they believe their coworker to be, to ensure the variables of same age and different age are correctly provided.
The questionnaire each participant will complete has been modified from an article on respect in the workplace published by Indeed.com (2021).
Materials & Procedure
Materials for this study will be limited to electronic documents and email to allow the greatest number of individuals to participate in this study. Participants will not be individually compensated, but will be entered into a drawing to win one of one hundred $10 gift cards to a coffee chain of their choice: Starbucks, Dunkin’, or Tim Hortons (gift cards will be awarded by random selection and will be emailed following the close of the survey).
Once participants have responded to the advertisement on LinkedIn indicating their interest in the study, they will be emailed the information to begin the survey at their own discretion. Participants will first be asked to sign consent waivers and confirm their 30+ days of employment in their current position, and will also be asked to state their age. Each participant will either be prompted, then, to think of a coworker of a similar age (within 10 years) or to think of a coworker younger/older than them (+/- 10 years). The participant will be asked to identify the age they believe most accurately describes the coworker they are imagining as an attention check to make sure they are paying attention to the prompt.
From there, each participant will answer each question on the respect measure to their best ability, for example statements such as “My coworker values my time” and “My coworker practices common courtesy” will be answered by selecting one of the following four options: Never, Sometimes, Most of the time, or Always. After all of the questions have been completed, the participant will complete the demographic questions located at the end of the survey. Participants will be asked to again, electronically sign the questionnaire to ensure their answers are truthful and that the researchers have their permission to use the data. Once the participant submits their questionnaire, they will be sent a follow-up email with the debriefing information for the study outlining the deception used, the true purpose of the study, and contact information for the researchers and any mental health assistance they may require regarding the study.

Proposed Results
First, in order to test the hypothesis that there is a significant positive correlation between the child (STAI-C) and parent (STAI-P) self-reported anxiety scores we will run a correlation between these two variables. Results are expected to show that, as predicted, there is a significant positive correlation, between the child (STAI-C) (M = X.XX, SD = X.XX) and parent (STAI-P) (M = X.XX, SD = X.XX) self-reported anxiety scores, r(748) = X.XX, p
