Note. The standardized canonical function coefficients (presented in each column below canonical correlations) are those used in the equation to combine the independent and dependent variables into two synthetic dimensions. These dimensions are then correlated to produce the canonical correlation. Thus, the standardized canonical function coefficients are interpreted as the relative contribution (i.e., weight) that each variable contributes to that independent or dependent canonical dimension. Values in bold represent statistically significant loadings for each canonical correlation.
