Social Sciences - Mathematics & Statistics / ego development
German term or phrase: hochsignifikant und mittelhoch
Dieser korrelierte hochsignifikant und mittelhoch mit Ich-Entwicklung (r = 0,29).

My draft: The correlation with ego development was highly significant and medium high (r = 0.29).

Is there something wrong with the German sentence? If something is highly significant, it can't be medium high, unless "medium high" something else is implied or perhaps omitted by mistake (maybe medium strong?).

Thanks!

highly significant but with a weak correlation
Explanation:
It's quite possible to have a significant result e.g. p<0.05 but with a quite small correlation value. In some contexts, r=0.29 or even less would not be surprising

Maybe "weak" is a bit strong (if you see what I mean). "weakish", "relatively low" might be closer :-)
