Bivariate correlations. To obtain bivariate correlations, from the menus choose: Analyze > Correlate > Bivariate ... Select two or more numeric variables.
Test of Significance. You can select two-tailed or one-tailed probabilities. If the direction of association is known in advance, select One-tailed. Otherwise, select Two-tailed. Flag significant correlations. Correlation coefficients significant at the 0.05 level are identified with a single asterisk, and those significant at the 0.01 level are identified with two asterisks.

The correlations table displays Pearson correlation coefficients, significance values, and the number of cases with non-missing values (N). The values of the correlation coefficient range from -1 to 1. The sign of the correlation coefficient indicates the direction of the relationship (positive or negative). The absolute value of the correlation coefficient indicates the strength, with larger absolute values indicating stronger relationships. The correlation coefficients on the main diagonal are always 1, because each variable has a perfect positive linear relationship with itself. The significance of each correlation coefficient is also displayed in the correlation table. The significance level (or p-value) is the probability of obtaining results as extreme as the one observed. If the significance level is very small (less than 0.05) then the correlation is significant and the two variables are linearly related. If the significance level is relatively large (for example, 0.50) then the correlation is not significant and the two variables are not linearly related. Partial correlations. To obtain partial correlations, from the menus choose: Analyze > Correlate > Partial... Select two or more numeric variables for which partial correlations are to be computed. Select one or more numeric control variables.
In this case, we extract the variance of general satisfaction from the correlation between satisfaction at work and leisure satisfaction.

Leisure satisfaction
As we can see, the correlation between satisfaction at work and leisure satisfaction when general satisfaction is maintained constant is not significant (p > 0.05)
