Explain the difference between a casual variable and a correlation

What will be an ideal response?


Causal variables directly influence the outcome of relationships. While causal variables can be identified in physical science, often it is difficult to identify causal variables in human research. It is more common in social research to establish correlations rather than causality.
Correlation is the state of two variables being associated with each other in that when one increases, the other increases or decreases in a predictable pattern. Correlation shows relationship
but does not establish causality.
