Causal Inference From Cross-Lagged Correlation Coeficients Fact or Fancy? (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Can cross-lagged correlations prove causation in social science? This book asks hard questions and tests them with clear examples.
This work explains how choosing different time periods can change the causal directions suggested by cross-lagged analysis. It also shows that non-linear feedback between variables can make these methods unreliable. Through a simple simulation, the author demonstrates how two variables in a social system can appear to drive each other, switch roles, or seem unconnected depending on how data are observed. The goal is to identify when the cross-lagged method is valid and when it is misleading, so researchers can design better studies.
- Understand how time window choices affect causal inferences from cross-lagged data.
- See why non-linear feedback can disguise true relationships between variables.
- Explore a simulation that highlights competing interpretations of causality.
- Learn practical tests and diagnostics to determine when cross-lag analysis applies.

Causal Inference From Cross-Lagged Correlation Coeficients Fact or Fancy?
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: 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.
