  • Two variables are associated when they…

    Vary together. Or, when change in one coincides with changes in the other

  • What can we do if two variables are associated?

    We can predict the value of one variable from the value of the other variable

  • Bivariate analysis

    Looks at the relationship between two variables by using a table

  • What 3 questions does bivariate analysis answer?

    1) is there a relationship

    2) how strong is the relationship

    3) what is the pattern or direction of the relationship

  • What are the 3 criteria of causation?

    1) time order

    2) non-spuriousness

    3) correlation

  • What does negative correlation mean?

    As the independent variable goes up, the dependent variable goes down

  • What does positive correlation mean?

    As the independent variable goes up, the dependent variable does too

  • Direct relationship

    The independent variable directly effects the dependent variable

  • Indirect relationship

    The IV and DV are not directly linked. There’s a 3rd variable/other factors that affect their relationship

  • What is a spurious indirect relationship?

    Both the IV and DV are affected by a third variable that explains any apparent link between them (X and Y are not related but both caused by Z)

  • What is an intervening indirect relationship?

    When a third variable intervenes between the IV and the DV

  • What is a conditional indirect relationship?

    The relationship between the IV and the DV changes as the category of the third variable changes (X and Y might be related only for some Z or might have +/- relationship for different Zs)

  • What is elaboration?

    Introduces control variables that weed out indirect relationships (also rarely used)

  • What is an example of a direct relationship?

    Someone's weight being correlated with their height

  • What is an example of an indirect relationship?

    The affect of oral health on one's risk of heart disease

  • What is an example of a spurious relationship?

    The number of firefighters present seems to correlate with the amount of damage caused, but the 3rd variable is the size of the fire

  • What is an example of a conditional relationship?

    An increase in violent behavior after playing video games is only observed in boys but not girls
