Answer to Question 1

You cannot be sure that the different values on the first variable are really associated with different values on the second variable unless you examine at least two levels. For example, we cannot see the effects of having low self-esteem by looking only at people with low self-esteem. You must also determine if the particular effect is absent (or present) among those with high self-esteem.
