The answer to whether Dr. Reyes can make a causal inference from the study is;
No, she can't make a casual inference from the study because she met only one of the three criteria's for causality.
- To answer this question, we need to know the conditions for causality in statistics research because causality gives the relationships such that a change in one variable would have to result in a change in another variable.
Now, the three conditions are;
1) Covariation; This condition means that the causal variable must have to vary with with the variable it is assumed to cause in a systematic manner.
2) Temporal precedence; Thus condition simply means that cause must precede effect. In summary it denotes that the variable that has the causal effect must come before the effect that it is meant to cause.
3) Control for extraneous variables; This condition means that results of an experiment or research must not be due to factors outside of the experiment/research
Now, in our question, he fulfilled the covariation condition because the
result of the research is tied to the responses from the sample students.
However, she did not fulfill the temporal precedence because the cause of
their moods did not precede the effects in his research.
Also, she did not fulfill the condition of control of extraneous variables
because other factors outside of the research itself may have affected their
moods.
