What is a good sample size for correlational study?
Determining the sample sizes involve resource and statistical issues. Usually, researchers regard 100 participants as the minimum sample size when the population is large.
How do you know if a correlation is meaningful?
To determine whether the correlation between variables is significant, compare the p-value to your significance level. Usually, a significance level (denoted as α or alpha) of 0.05 works well. An α of 0.05 indicates that the risk of concluding that a correlation exists—when, actually, no correlation exists—is 5%.
What is sample size in correlation?
Total sample size required to determine whether a correlation coefficient differs from zero. Threshold probability for rejecting the null hypothesis.
Is there a minimum sample required for correlation?

I’m wondering what is the reasonable minimum sample for it? Is there any rule for determining that? Not the answer you’re looking for?

Why is sample size important for linear correelation?
With increasing sample size the correlation coefficient will “collect” more information – the information about the linear correelation provided by the data. There is no problem having a small sample size. The assumptions about the scale of the varibles, their linear correlation and homogeneous, normal errors must be reasonable.
When do you use the Pearson correlation coefficient?
It is used when the basic assumptions of the Pearson correlation coefficient have not been met by the data – that is especially when the scores are markedly asymmetrical (skewed) on a variable.
What does a correlation of 0 or 1 mean?
A “0” means there is no relationship between the variables at all, while -1 or 1 means that there is a perfect negative or positive correlation (negative or positive correlation here refers to the type of graph the relationship will produce).
