I'm trying to establish a bivariate Pearson correlation between two groups of variables in SPSS, however one of the groups has positive decimal numbers and the other negative decimal numbers.

The results show a significant negative correlation between the two groups. If the negative numbers were positive instead this analysis would show a significant positive correlation.

What Im wondering is, how do I interpret these results? Can I accurately say that there's a negative correlation?

Thanks.
