Psychology Glossary. Correlation Coefficient. This is a measure of the direction (positive or negative) and extent (range of a correlation coefficient is from -1 to +1) of the relationship between two sets of scores. Scores with a positive correlation coefficient go up and down together (as with smoking and cancer).
Den (room) A den is a small room in a house where people can pursue activities in private. In the United States, the type of rooms described by the term den varies considerably by region. It is used to describe many different kinds of bonus rooms, including studies, family rooms, home offices, libraries, home cinemas, or even spare bedrooms. In some places, particularly in parts of the British Isles, a small den may be known as a snug.
Pantyhose sheerness is defined by what is called âdenierâ. Denier or den is a unit of measure for the linear mass density of fibers, i.e. thickness of material. The lower the denier number, the sheerer the garment. The higher the denier, the less sheer a piece of hosiery is, yet it is considered to be more durable. Usually ultra-sheer pantyhose are the ones 5 up to 15 denier and those are used primarily for special occasions and warm summer months. Actually, 3 is the lowest denier available, yet it is virtually impossible to find any pantyhose with denier lower than 5.
