General State University recently decided to discontinue its use of the GRE as an admissions tool for its graduate programs because they observed no correlation between GRE scores and subsequent GPAs. Ninety percent of the grades awarded in the graduate programs at General State University are A's. What General State has failed to consider in this situation is the issue of:
 
  a. curvilinear relationships.
  b. causality.
  c. the third variable problem.
  d. restrictive range.

Question 2

Jim thought that the strong negative correlation that he observed between depression and self-esteem meant that having a low self-esteem led to high levels of depression. Jim is misinterpreting the correlation by assuming:
 
  a. causality.
  b. directionality.
  c. that there is a third variable.
  d. both causality and directionality.
