PSYCH 9C Chapter Notes - Chapter 8: Making Money
Document Summary
Smoking can take the grades of a student downward; it was a finding of a study that might have made happy a good number of people. But no one thinks it the other way round as of low grades may lead to tobacco. But the fact is both the factors are results of a third factor. The third factor in this case may be not taking the books seriously. The chapter has talked about a type of correlation in which there is a relationship but it is not clear which one is cause and which one is effect. This is actually just relating an issue with another non-relevant issue very smartly just to serve the purpose of the presenter. In some cases there is really a positive correlation but this correlation too works up to a mark to grow the effect positively but after that it may hinder.
