U5D2- Interpreting Correlations

A meta-analysis (Anderson & Bushman, 2001) reported that the average correlation between time spent playing video games ( X ) and engaging in aggressive behavior ( Y ) in a set of 21 well-controlled experimental studies was .19. 

*This correlation was judged to be statistically significant. 

*In your own words, what can you say about the nature of the relationship?
