How to save correlations as a new variable

General
1

Dear all,

I have a simple question regarding a problem I can't solve.

Can you recommend a way, package or code with which I can solve the following problem:

X and Y correlate 0.5. Is there a way that I save the 0.5 correlation coefficient value as a new variable? The 0.5 correlation coefficient should be the same for all respondents.

Thanks to everyone who will try to help me with this in advance!

Kind regards,
L

newVariable <- cor(y,x)

There seems to be an issue with that.

"object not found" no matter what dataset I use, all are scale variables in the normal social sciences data format (rows are respondents, collums numeric variables)

x <- c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10)
y <- c(1,2,3,4,5,10,9,8,7,6)
z <- cor(x,y)
class(z)

[1] "numeric"

w <- rep(z, length(x))
df <- data.frame(cbind(x,y,w))
df

Thank you for your useful advice!

Hello,

I would highly recommend the corrr package for this.
