Did you know that as sales in ice cream increase, so does the overall rate of crime? Is it possible that indulging in your favorite flavor of ice cream could send you on a crime spree? Or perhaps after committing crime you are particularly likely to treat yourself with a tasty ice cream treat? There is no question that a relationship exists between ice cream and crime (e.g., Harper, 2013), but it would be pretty foolish to decide that one thing actually caused the other to occur.  <\/span><\/p>\n\n
It is much more likely that both ice cream sales and crime rates are related to the temperature outside. When the temperature is warm, there is typically a high number of people out of their houses, interacting with each other, getting annoyed with one another, and sometimes committing crimes. Also, when it is warm outside, we are more likely to seek a cool treat like ice cream.  <\/span><\/p>\n\n
Correlations have predictive value. They let you predict the likely value of one variable based on the value of the other variable, with the strength of the correlation indicative of how effectively one variable predicts the other. For example, the amount of time spent studying would likely be a good predictor for final exam performance, and vice versa. But correlation is not causation. Just because two variables vary together does not mean that one causes the other. <\/span><\/p>\n\n

The temptation to make erroneous cause-and-effect statements based on correlational research is not the only way we tend to misinterpret data. We also tend to make the mistake of illusory correlations, especially with unsystematic observations. Illusory correlations, or false correlations, occur when people believe that relationships exist between two things when no such relationship exists. One well-known illusory correlation is the supposed effect that the moon\u2019s phases have on human behaviour. Many people passionately assert that human behaviour is affected by the phase of the moon, and specifically, that people act strangely when the moon is full.  <\/span><\/p>\n\n
A meta-analysis of nearly 40 studies consistently demonstrated, however, that the relationship between the moon and our behaviour does not exist (Rotton & Kelly, 1985). While we may pay more attention to odd behaviour during the full phase of the moon, the rates of odd behaviour remain constant throughout the lunar cycle.  <\/span><\/p>\n\n

Often we read or hear about them and simply accept the information as valid. Or, we have a hunch about how something works and then look for evidence to support that hunch, ignoring evidence that would tell us our hunch is false; this is known as confirmation bias. Other times, we find illusory correlations based on the information that comes most easily to mind, even if that information is severely limited. And while we may feel confident that we can use these relationships to better understand and predict the world around us, illusory correlations can have significant drawbacks. For example, research suggests that illusory correlations\u2014in which certain behaviours are inaccurately attributed to certain groups\u2014are involved in the formation of prejudicial attitudes that can ultimately lead to discriminatory behaviour (Fiedler, 2004). <\/span><\/p>\n\n

Participants<\/strong> are the subjects of psychological research, and as the name implies, individuals who are involved in psychological research actively participate in the process. Often, psychological research projects rely on college students to serve as participants.

But are college students truly representative of the general population? College students tend to be younger, more educated, more liberal, and less diverse than the general population.
