• State the variables represented in your article. Why do you think the researcher selected these?
• Which one is independent and dependent? Why do you think this way?
• Was the data positively correlated, negatively correlated, or neither? What does the correlation coefficient tell you about the relationship?
• Keeping in mind that correlation does not imply causation, in your article, was one variable the cause of the other?
• Based on this correlation analysis, would linear regression appropriate? Why or why not?
