abstract="Discusses the use of causal-correlational analyses in applied psychology (with reference to recent literature) in terms of weaknesses in the causal interpretation of such designs and the inappropriate use of raw difference scores in &quot;dynamic correlations.&quot; Examples of alternative interpretations of published data are presented to illustrate the ambiguities inherent in the strategy of &quot;discovering&quot; causal relationships in correlational data. Guidelines for the interpretation of causal-correlational analyses are discussed. (32 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)<p />",
