Assignment:

After reading research methods from Chapter One: Lifespan Development, think of a relationship between two variables you are interested in knowing more about. Be sure to consider the distinction between a correlational study and an experiment, as this is a key concept in research; some may have heard the statement "correlation does not equal causation."

1. What type of study might be appropriate to assess this?

2. What are some of the issues you might need to address? Think in terms of real-world application.

Here are a few examples of variables you could consider:

Birth outcomes of infants born to mothers who took drugs during pregnancy
Playing high school sports and social confidence in adolescence
Or, come up with your own example...
