- Abstract
Based on a study of positive parental sentiments we have treated of the issue of ignoring the simplest non-linear relations (dependencies with a maximum and a minimum in the first place) when even “significant” linear correlations are missing, which results in system errors (1st type of errors by the author’s terminology). The article supplies samples of dependencies (a total of 22) with linear correlations close to zero, which traditionally are not singled out as worth of note for describing and interpreting. In fact, there is, for these couples of variables, a really strong simplest non-linear dependency which completely changes the phenomenon under consideration, opening at the same time new relations supplying information for description. The article graphically shows the real amount of ignored results (invisible in the correlative analysis) that can arise in the course of any investigation when the focus is on linear correlations, plunging into linear models in interpreting the results while ignoring the real non-linear nature of psychological phenomena.
