Figure 6. Affect of dichotomizing on the correlation between two normally distributed variables.

Figure 6

Correlation between dichotomized variables compared to the original correlation between two normally distributed variables. Each curve represents an original correlation value (ρ = 0.1 for the bottom curve to ρ = 0.9 for the top curve by 0.1). The same cut point was used for both variables.
