This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.

Wei-Chin designed a self-report inventory to measure how intimate partners express affection and hostility toward each other. The inventory is a list of positive behaviors (e.g., back rubs, holding hands) and negative behaviors (e.g., slamming doors, raising voices). After having a wide range of couples complete the inventory, Wei-Chin finds that happy couples endorse all the affection items and unhappy couples endorse all the hostile items. Which of the following problems prevents him from concluding that happy couples exchange more affectionate behaviors than unhappy couples?

1. sentiment override

2. item-overlap problem

3. correlation does not imply causation

4. social desirability effect

Answer: 3. Correlation does not imply causation.

Explanation:

Correlation is a statistical technique that evaluates how much two variables are linearly related, meaning they change together. However, two variables being correlated does not necessarily mean that one causes the other. Causation states that any change in a variable will cause a change in another variable.

The fact that happy couples endorsed all the positive behaviors, and unhappy couples the negative ones, shows that there´s a correlation, but it doesn't necessarily mean that unhappiness causes couples to exchange more negative behaviors, or vice-versa.

According to farmer, what is to blame for ebola's rapid spread in liberia?
Otrada [13]

According to Paul Farmer, an infectious disease physician and Harvard global health professor. The fact is that weak health systems  not unprecedented virulence or a previously unknown mode of transmission, are to blame for Ebola's rapid spread.

But the fact is that weak health systems not unprecedented virulence or a previously unknown mode of transmission are to blame for Ebola's rapid spread. Weak health systems are also to blame for the high case-fatality rates in the current pandemic, which is caused by the Zaire strain of the virus.

Viral and epidemiologic data suggest that Ebola virus existed long before these recorded outbreaks occurred. Factors like population growth  encroachment into forested areas and direct interaction with wildlife  such as bushmeat consumption  may have contributed to the spread of the Ebola virus.

aleksandrvk [35]

<u>Answer: </u>

<u>Explanation: </u>

  • The magnetic field reversals that have happened on earth from time to time are evident from the geological features found near the mid-oceanic ridge.
  • The rock stripes stopped developing in a single direction after the polar direction of the region changed. Hence, the patterns that are seen in the rock stripes can be deemed as proof of magnetic field reversals from time to time.
