Results of a study show a significant positive correlation between scores on the Dissociative Experiences Scale and a questionnaire on child abuse. The researchers conclude that this supports "the view that dissociation represents a reaction to early negative experience." What is one problem with this conclusion?

    It assumes there is a cause-and-effect relationship

    Explanation:

    The flaw of the conclusion lies on the assumption that there must be a cause and effect relationship between the two variables. However correlation in this respect could be affected by other variables that were not paid attention to. A cause and effect relationship in the example would mean that all dissociative cases are a direct result of child abuses and no other variable can result to this effect.
