- We shouldn't assume causality from a correlation result because it only shows that 2 variables are related not one causes the other.
- there might be a correlation between the development of students' listening ability after 6 months, and the number of English movies they watched during these months. However, the development does not fully depend on watching movies. There are other hidden factors, such as motivation, interests, and exam pressure, that might affect the result.
- In my data, there may be a correlation between listening pre-test scores and post-test scores. At first, it might seem that higher pre-test scores cause higher post-test scores. However, this is not a cause-effect relationship. Both scores are influenced by factors such as students’ overall ability, motivation, or prior knowledge. Therefore, we cannot conclude causation.
