Dear Methodspace Community,
I have computed multiple Pearson’s correlations for different neuropsychological and sociodemographic variables in the same sample (e.g. correlation age and memory performance, correlation education and attention performance etc.). Now I wonder wheter I have to correct the p value for multiple comparisons. When is correction for multiple comparisons necessary in correlational analyses and when not? I would be very happy for an answer.
Best regards,
Silke
