Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the validity of causal inferences drawn from cross-lagged correlation coefficients, a method frequently used in social science research. The author challenges the notion that cross-lagged correlations can definitively establish causal relationships, particularly in systems with non-linear feedback loops. Through a simulation experiment, the author demonstrates how the method can lead to contradictory and misleading conclusions. The book emphasizes the limitations of cross-lagged analysis and the need for caution in its application. Ultimately, the book highlights the importance of carefully considering the underlying assumptions and limitations of causal inference methods in social science research.
