Paper Summary

Rank correlation is a useful statistical method in psychology research. Kendall's r is preferred over other methods for ranking data. The study aimed to extend this method to analyze the relationship between a ranked variable and a dichotomous one, a common issue in psychology research. The traditional method of converting rankings to dichotomies may lead to inaccuracies.
