Issues to consider in interpreting


Correlation Results

Interpretation of CAUSALITY and CORRELATION


Why is correlation weak evidence for causality?
Third or Hidden Variable Problem
Both variables related to third variable
Third variable has a causal relationship with
both variables.
Directionality Problem
Does X cause changes in Y ?
Does Y cause changes in X ?
Are there reciprocal causal effects ?

Correlation vs. Causation


Self-Esteem & ADHD r = - 0.42
Does having ADHD cause people 
to have lower self-esteem?
Does having low self-esteem cause ADHD?
Is high self-esteem a protective factor 
AGAINST ADHD?

Correlation vs. Causation


Self-Esteem & ADHD r = - 0.42
Is there a hidden variable?
Example: Low DOPAMINE levels
Dopamine deficiency:
Lack of motivation, apathy, lack of focus
Scatterplots
Low self-esteem?
Easy distractibility: poor academic performance
Social / family relationship problems
ADHD symptoms
Attention: lack of focus
Hyperactivity: easily bored
