Hey Satchi! It depends whose criteria you use- there are different values in different stats books etc, so it depends! I think there is a general agreement that >.7 is thought to be 'highly' or 'strongly' correlated, but you should check to see what value other people in your subject area use and what it says in your best stats book! Sorry I can't be more helpful- I am at home at the moment and all my stats books are in the office! Best, KB
