people with higher status careers tend to dress more formally on and off the job.
people with lower status jobs tend to wear the same clothing both off and on the job.
there is no relationship between the types of clothing worn in non-work settings and the type of careers people engage in.

question 35 (5.5 points)
which research method allows for causal relationships?

experiment
survey
observational
correlational

Explanation:

Analyze Question 34

The question asks for the interpretation of a "near zero correlation" between non-work clothing and career type. A correlation close to zero indicates that there is no linear relationship between the two variables. Therefore, knowing one variable does not help predict the other. This directly corresponds to the option stating there is no relationship.

Analyze Question 35

The question asks which research method allows for establishing causal relationships. In research methodology, only experimental designs (experiments) can establish causality. This is because experiments involve the active manipulation of an independent variable and random assignment to control for confounding variables, unlike observational, survey, or correlational methods.
