You can now watch Jeremy's excellent talk on the term "association" and what it's even supposed to be referring to on YouTube. Must watch if you're doing associational research!

A slide from this talk I'm giving on Monday.
The conclusion will be a set of questions that one must be able to answer to ask associational research questions. The ball is in your court association people!
Jeremy Labrecque
Do you ever claim to be interested in the "association" between variables? This talk may be for you!
@jeremylabrecque.bsky.social will explain when and why such associational language is not appropriate and why causal language should be used instead.
