The strength of a relationship is sometimes discussed using the term effect size. The effect size explains how much "effect" variation in one concept has on variation in a second concept. A relational statement declares that a relationship of some kind exists between or among two or more concepts. Relational statements describe the direction, shape, strength, symmetry, sequencing, probability of occurrence, necessity, and sufficiency of a relationship. One statement may have several of these characteristics—each characteristic is not exclusive of the others. Some of the variation in a concept, but not all, is associated with variation in another concept.
