In this paper, we consider a compilation of 55 objects with known superluminal motions (SM), and whose flux density (X-ray, optical, radio), core dominance parameter (R), superluminal velocity, and radio Doppler factor (δR) are known. Our study shows that SM is consistent with the beaming model, and the relationis reasonable. The statistical correlation between superluminal velocity and redshift is a result of selection and the statistical correlation between R and brightness temperature (Tob) is actually a reflection of the correlations between δ, R, and Tob for objects with SM. Up to now, 59 objects have been reported to have SM, but for reasons discussed elsewhere (Vermeulen & Cohen 1994), only 55 are considered here.
