Document Summary

This lecture will focus on the ideas of how x causes y, how x affects y, and under what. It is an account of how, or by the process, one thing. It will also focus on the measurement of concepts, units, and levels. For example, people with more education are seen as more skilled by potential employers and get higher status jobs that pay more money. Another example is that people with more education have more and better employment options, and are therefore able to negotiate better salaries. An example of a causal relationship would be how working fewer hours for pay causes better grades. The mechanism of this idea would be that people who work have fewer hours to spend studying due to work. This is compared to those who don"t work and can spend more time studying. Another causal relationship could be the idea that living in a city it better for peoples health.
