A variable in common (overlap) e.g. of form r(W,X) = r(W,Z).
A test for this comparison goes under various names the Williams test, Williams-Hotelling or Hotelling test.
An example of its use in macro form is given below. This uses SPSS syntax from http://www.utexas.edu/its/rc/answers/general/gen28.html. Just cut and paste into a SPSS syntax window to use. In the syntax window choose select all and click the run arrow. Edit the data in the spreadsheet as required. You can also use the Williams-Hotelling test by typing equalcor at a UNIX prompt on a CBU machine.
