A non-spurious relationship implies that:

Select one:

there is a potential causal link between the independent and dependent variables.

the relationship would not be maintained if relevant variables were controlled in the research.

the explanatory power of the independent variable is due to error.

the dependent variable is, in fact, the control variable.

Under what circumstances could an independent variable in one study be a dependent variable in another study?
. Differentiate between correlation vs. causation. When two variables are correlated (such as strength and running speed), they are associated with one another. Explain how, even if there is a correlation between the two, one might not cause the other. Provide an example of an association between variables where a causal relationship makes sense conceptually. Why can't correlations be used as a tool to prove a causal relationship between variables rather than just an association?

Identify the independent (or quasi-independent) and dependent variables in the following examples. Also have identify the type of manipulation used for the independent variable and the scales of measurement for the dependent variable(s). Discuss each example and consider any confounding variables that may pose a problem for the study. Researchers design a study to measure responses of subway passengers to information announced over the intercom. The same announcement will be made by the conductor, but in one condition, a bell noise will precede the announcement. At the next stop, passengers will be interviewed to determine whether they heard they announcement and if they could decipher the message.
