Note. Subscripts denote a statistically significant difference in strength between correlations within the same row. The subscript
denotes a correlation is the strongest in its row
denotes it is the second strongest
denotes it is the third strongest, and
denotes it is the fourth strongest. If two or more correlations are denoted by the same letter, this indicates that there is no statistically significant difference in the strength between these correlations.
