Abstract
In order to determine interrelationships researchers measure the same two variables for each individual involved in a study. If naturally-occurring associations can be found between two different sets of data, one factor can be used to predict the other. Correlational studies also reveal when few or no links exist. Causal studies take correlation a step further, but are tricky because one of the correlates may bring about the other, or both can be independently caused by an underlying third factor.
