Montell had a theory that decreasing teens’ use of social media would increase their level of anxiety. He conducted a correlational study that produced a correlation coefficient of +.73 between the two variables. Based on this study, Montell felt his theory was validated. What error did Montell make in attempting to prove his theory?

conducting a correlational study

Explanation:

Correlational research is a type of research whichby the researcher measures two variables, thereby assessing the relationship that exists between them.

Correlational research gives researchers room to collect much more data than experiments as it can opens up a great deal of further research to other scholars. It gives researchers right to determine the strength and direction of a relationship so that later studies can be pointed towards findings down and, determine causation experimentally.

Correlation research only uncovers a relationship as it will not give a conclusive reason for why a relationship exist.

facts: the 14th amendment

the 14th amendment addresses citizenship rights and equal protection of the laws.

the 14th amendment was intended to protect the rights of former slaves after the american civil war.

the 14th amendment was approved by congress in june of 1866 and ratified by the states on july 9, 1868.

the 14th amendment establishes that all persons born in the united states are citizens and are guaranteed all the rights of citizenship.

the 14th amendment establishes that the law protects all citizens equally.

in this case the passage of the 14th amendment   that was violated was the last part in which it states that there is equal protection of the law.

this is called police cynicism. i hope this .
