Notes. All correlation coefficients > 0.22 are statistically significant at p <.005 (printed in bold). Note that—as other correlation coefficients—percentage bend correlation coefficients can range between −1 and 1. Thus, their sizes may be interpreted as small (0.1–0.3), medium (0.3–0.5), or large (≥ 0.5), similar to what has been suggested for Pearson’s r [55]
