“More Than Meets the Eye”: A Guide to Interpreting the Descriptive Statistics and Correlation Matrices Reported in Management Research

The author of this essay wonders whether in teaching our students the latest analytic techniques we have neglected to emphasize the importance of understanding the most basic aspects of a study's primary data. In response, he provides a 12-part answer to a fundamental question: “What information can be derived from reviewing the descriptive statistics and correlation matrix that appear in virtually every empirically based, nonexperimental paper published in the management discipline?” The seeming ubiquity of strained responses, to what many at first consider to be a vexed question about a mundane topic, leads the author to suggest that students at all levels, seasoned scholars, manuscript referees, and general consumers of management research may be unaware that the standard Table 1 in a traditional Results section reveals “more than meets the eye!”

Bringing the convict back in: An ecological approach to inmate adaptions

Based on three years of direct observation and an inmate survey in a minimum-security prison in California, this article argues the need to develop an ecological-environmental approach to examining inmate adaptions. Toch's (1977) Prison Preference Inventory (PPI), which elicits inmate preferences and concerns, was the study's primary data collection instrument. Contrary to what the literature suggested, no significant differences on the PPI dimensions were found between inmates in double-celled versus dorm housing. Significant differences did appear when various types of inmate housing units were compared. The conclusion is that there is a need to implement an ecological-environmental approach to inmate adaptions, at least in minimum-security prisons.
