- The links below are to articles that report results of studies. Sometimes headlines can be misleading and suggest causal effects instead of mere correlation between variables studied. For each article below, identify whether the headline implies correlation or causation. Then read the article and identify whether it was a correlational study or an experiment. If correlational, identify the variables studied and the direction (positive or negative) of the correlation. If an experiment, identify the independent variable(s) (the thing(s) that has an effect on something else) and the dependent variables(s) (the thing(s) that are effected by the IV).
