Relationships (Correlations) Between the Variables<br />
To ensure that the objective measure of attractiveness was valid, the variable<br />
was correlated with two measures of perceived attractiveness. Table 14 presents the<br />
correlation between the objective measure of attractiveness of endorser and the<br />
perceived level of attractiveness of endorser. The perceived level of attractiveness is<br />
measured by a summation of the five attractiveness items in the endorser credibility<br />
scale. Table 15 presents the correlation between the objective attractiveness measure<br />
and the single item (“attractive” vs. “unattractive”) in the endorser credibility model.
