== How do I obtain 95% Confidence Intervals for a (Pearson) correlation in SPSS? ==

Weaver and Koopman (2014) use SPSS macros available from   [[https://sites.google.com/a/lakeheadu.ca/bweaver/Home/statistics/spss/my-spss-page/rhoci |  here]] to obtain confidence intervals for each element of a matrix of Pearson correlations showing associations between variables. 

This method is also suggested by Howell (2002) and has advantages over using 95% confidence intervals based upon regression coefficients of standardised variables in giving asymmetric intervals which are contained within the range [-1,1] and is, therefore, to be preferred.

A 95% confidence interval using the backtransformed Fisher transformation for a ''single''   Pearson correlation may also be computed using this
