Extraneous variables that are difficult to recognize. May invalidate conclusions drawn from statistical results. they do not receive the treatment by the researchers and are used as to compare against the group that does receive the treatment A correlation doesn’t appear to be accidental even though there is no apparent cause and effect or common cause relationship. An external variable causes two variables to change the same way. they receive the treatment being tested A correlation exists without any causal relationship between variables. The presumed dependent and independent variables are reversed in the process of determining causality. (Y causes X). A correlation exists without any causal relationship between variables.
