1. Relationship condition (the two variables must be related)
2. Temporal condition (time order)
3. Lack of other explanation condition (not due to confounding variables, etc.)
When is it appropriate to draw a causal connection between two measurement variables? In other words, what conditions must be met in the study and in the analysis to show a causal relationship?
My answer :
1.There needs to be a reasonable explanation of cause and effect.
2.The condition happens under varying conditions.
3. Potential confounding variables are ruled out.
