Answer to Question 1

One can infer causality from the observation of associations or correlations between things in the world. If changes in one factor are regularly associated with changes in the other factor, then the first factor may be causing those changes.

Answer to Question 2

Scientific theories are linked to scientific research through hypotheses. Hypotheses are statements whose accuracy can be assessed through observation. If hypotheses are verified through observation, this provides support for the theory; if they are not, one's confidence in the theory is reduced. The more empirical support there is for a theory, the more useful it is in attacking social problems.
