Teen behavioural problems
to the “teen brain” behavioural problems issue (e.g., the legal age
for driving).Discuss the arguments used by each side to support its case
and Discuss the scientific or logical errors made by each side (e.g.,
does the article
derive a causal conclusion from correlational findings?)
The media articles can come from any newspaper articles in the last two years but it shouldn't be from a blog.

CAUSE AND EFFECT
1. Our everyday personality judgments are shaped not only by the
primacy effect, but also by our prior set of beliefs about which
personality traits go together. These assumptions or naïve belief
systems that we have about the associations among personality traits
have been called an implicit personality theory. In this unscientific
theory of personality, we have a strong tendency to assume that all good
things occur together in persons and that all bad things do so as well,
with little overlap between the two.
Write two or three paragraphs giving an example of a time in your life when you made an incorrect assessment about someone’s character or personality based on the Implicit Personality Theory – using the operating principle of evaluative consistency – the tendency to view others that is internally consistent. Describe how later on – when you learned more about the person – you realized you had misjudged based on the implicit personality theory. Do not use examples stated in your textbook.
2. What can we learn about two variables from a CORRELATIONAL STUDY? What do we mean by CAUSE AND EFFECT? We cannot determine CAUSE AND EFFECT from a correlational Study. Why not?
