Question

A common finding in the study of aggression is that exposure to television is associated with increased aggressive behavior in children. You know this relationship may not be causal because you are not sure which occurred first watching television or being aggressive. You are questioning which of the following rules of causation?

Answer 1

The rule of temporal precedence.

Explanation:

The rule of temporal precedence comes from both the field named as philosophy and logic. Temporal is primary determinants that are used in psychological cause and effects questions. a question that requires a knowledge that what happened before the events. As we can take an example that is very critical to answer what comes first chicken or egg. But these days the chicken is the temporal precedence but if you say chicken comes first but although chicken comes from the egg. So it is very difficult and a murkier question to answer it. Temporal precedence shows the cause and effects relationship between two variables. The cause is shown must occur before effects. Other factors are responsible for temporal precedence are co-variation and non-spuriousness.
