Exploring
Correlational Research
1. A group of marketing researchers wants to
determine whether their “Zippy” brand of dog food causes dogs to be more
healthy. They visit a large number of dogs in their homes and objectively
measure how healthy the dog is and take note of what kind of food the dog eats.
Based
on the above scenario, answer the following questions.
Circle “true” or “false.”
|
a) True False
|
a. If the researchers find a positive correlation between dogs’ health
and eating Zippy food, they can conclude that Zippy food causes better health
in dogs.
|
|
b) True False
|
b. If the researchers find a
negative correlation between dogs’ health and eating Zippy food, they can
conclude that Zippy food causes better health in dogs.
|
|
c) True False
|
c. If the researchers find a negative correlation between dogs’ health
and eating Zippy food, they can conclude that Zippy food causes poor health
in dogs.
|
|
d) True False
|
d. The researchers cannot find any kind of correlation from this
study.
|
|
e) True False
|
e. The researchers cannot prove whether Zippy food causes better
health from this study.
|
|
f) True False
|
f. The researchers could prove that Zippy food causes better health in
dogs only if they conduct experimental research.
|
|
g) True False
|
g. The above study could not show a cause-effect relationship because
there are too many uncontrolled variables.
|
2. A set of
health researchers wants to study whether the amount of sunlight in hospital
rooms helps recovery from minor illnesses. They survey the head nurse at many
hospital wards, asking estimates of the amount of sunlight and the number of
days it takes patients to recover.
Based
on the above scenario, answer the following questions.
|
a) True False
|
a. If the researchers find a positive correlation
between amount of sunlight and number of recovery days, they can conclude
that the sunlight causes better health.
|
|
b) True False
|
b. If the researchers find a positive correlation between amount of
sunlight and number of recovery days, they can conclude that the sunlight
causes worse health.
|
|
c) True False
|
c. If the researchers find a negative correlation between amount of
sunlight and number of recovery days, they can conclude that the sunlight
causes better health.
|
|
d) True False
|
d. If the researchers find a negative correlation between amount of
sunlight and number of recovery days, they can conclude that the sunlight
causes worse health.
|
|
e) True False
|
e. Regardless of whether they find a positive or negative correlation,
the researchers cannot conclude that sunlight causes any difference on
people’s health.
|
|
f) True False
|
f. A detailed case study would be an effective way to determine how
sunlight causes changes in health.

3.
Developmental psychologists survey parents about the number of children’s books
in the home and compare these numbers to children’s reading abilities. The
researchers find a positive correlation between the number of books and
children’s reading ability. Based on this
information, which of the following can we assume are TRUE?
a___ There is some kind of relationship between books
and reading ability.
b___ A higher number of books causes better reading
abilities.
c___ The better reading ability causes children to
want more books.
d___ Parents who enjoy reading buy more books and
spend more time reading to their children.
e___ There is a very strong relationship between books
and reading ability.
f___ There is only a weak relationship between books
and reading ability.
g___ Number of books and reading ability
seem to be related, but we can’t tell why.
4.
Health researchers measure how often people exercise and how often the same
people come down with the flu. The researchers find a negative correlation
between the amount of weekly exercise and the number of flu symptoms in an individual.
Based on this information, which of
the following can we assume are TRUE?
a___ People who exercise more tend to have the flu
less often.
b___ People who have the flu more often tend to
exercise less.
c___ Exercising causes people to be more healthy and
less susceptible to the flu.
d___ People who get sick do not have time to exercise.
e___ Since exercise reduces the flu, this is really
positive correlation because the result is good.
f___ Since the flu is a bad thing, this makes it a
negative correlation.
5. Researchers find that among couples who live
together before marriage there is a higher divorce rate compared to couples who
marry without living together first. From this information we can conclude
that…
a___ There is a positive correlation between living
together and divorce rates.
b___ There is a negative correlation between living
together and divorce rates.
c___ It is a negative correlation because divorce
tends to be a negative life event.
d___ Living together before marriage causes problems
in the relationship leading to divorce.
e___ Waiting to live together until after marriage
makes the relationship stronger and less susceptible to divorce.
f___ People who live together “use up” the good years
before they are even married.
g___ People who are highly religious do not live
together outside of marriage nor divorce once they are married.
h___ There are many interesting ways to interpret this
correlation, but we just can’t be sure which one is right.
