  1. **p value (two tailed) significant at the level of <0.001. The Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r) values of ±1 was interpreted as perfect correlation, r values between ±0.7 and ±0.9 as strong correlations, r values in the range ±0.4 to ±0.6 as moderate correlations, r values between ±0.1 and ±0.3 as weak correlations, and r value of 0 as no correlation
