Professor Abadi is evaluating the relationship between food intake and ability to quickly complete a timed task. He provides a buffet lunch to all study participants. They can eat as much or as little as they want. Their plates of food are photographed and weighed before and after eating to estimate caloric intake. Thirty minutes later, they are given a timed attention task in which they must complete a puzzle on a computer screen as quickly as they can.
The following graph shows the results of Professor Abadi’s study:
Answer the following questions:
1. What kind of correlation (positive, negative or none) do you see reflected in the graph? Why did you answer the way you did?
2. What are 3 possible causal interpretations for this graph, if you think a correlation is occuring? Be specific to the variables shown.
3. Can we definitively determine which of these interpretations is the correct one? Why or why not?

Case 1
Dr. Arnold is a clinical psychologist who specializes in child and adolescent issues. From time to time, she provides consultation on high lethality cases within the juvenile court system. Recently, she was referred a case involving a 15-year-old male who has a history of aggression, angry outburst, destructive behavior, and cyberstalking.

Dr. Arnold is uncertain whether or not to look at the client’s social network page.
Case 2
Dr. Washington is a counseling psychologist who specializes in trauma and self-harming behavior. Recently, he received a “friend request” from a former client who he provided individual therapy to six months ago. Dr. Washington opted not to accept the “friend request,” but considered sending a private message to the client with the social networking policy from his informed consent. Dr. Washington is uncertain whether or not to send the private message to the client.
