Laerd Statistics
Laerd. (2018). Multiple regression analysis using SPSS Statistics. Lund Research Ltd.

Laerd is a great statistics site and this page discusses multiple regression analysis.
Correlation
Jung, H. J., & Randall, J. (2018). Correlation. In B. B. Frey (Ed.), The SAGE encyclopedia of educational research, measurement, and evaluation (pp. 413). SAGE.

Correlation is used to examine the relationship between variables. This relationship can be quantified by calculating the correlation coefficient.
Multicollinearity
Nimon, K. (2018). Multicollinearity. In B. B. Frey (Ed.), The SAGE encyclopedia of educational research, measurement, and evaluation (p. 1100). SAGE.

Multicollinearity refers to the relationship between predictors in a multiple regression analysis. If two or more predictors are highly correlated to each other, the researcher must determine which one of them is going to be included in the mode. Example of theory that holds true if there is no multicollinearity.
Multicollinearity
Daoud, J.I. (2017). Multicollinearity and regression analysis. Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 949(1), 1.

Multicollinearity refers to the relationship between predictors in a multiple regression analysis. If two or more predictors are highly correlated to each other, the researcher must determine which one of them is going to be included in the mode. Definition of Multicollinearity itself.
Multiple Linear Regression
Sims, J. (2018). Multiple linear regression. In B. B. Frey (Ed.), The SAGE encyclopedia of educational research, measurement, and evaluation (pp. 1111-1113). SAGE.

Multiple linear regression is an extension of the simple linear regression. In this case, the researcher is building a prediction model with more than one predictor. The model determines the amount of contribution that a predictor has on the predicted variable.
Pearson Correlation Coefficient
Gordon, M., & Courtney, R. (2018). Pearson correlation coefficient. In B. B. Frey (Ed.), The SAGE encyclopedia of educational research, measurement, and evaluation(pp. 1299-1233). SAGE.

The Pearson correlation is used to examine the linear relationship between two variables. It is a measure that is used when both variables are continuous.
