A social psychologist was interested in the relationship between social support and success at university. Her theory is that people with more social connections at university will have better adjustment and thus receive better grades. The researcher discovered that those who were in regular contact with more peers at university had a higher GPA (semester 1 results), r(37) = .40. Social Contacts GPA (1-7) Mean 9.50 5.35 SD 3.65 2.65
