If we find that there is a positive correlation between group cohesion and group performance, which of the following is true?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A positive correlation between group cohesion and group performance indicates a relationship where as one increases, so does the other. However, correlation does not imply causation. This means we cannot determine from the correlation alone whether higher group cohesion causes higher group performance, higher group performance leads to higher group cohesion, or if a third variable influences both. Therefore, any of the given possibilities could be correct without further investigation.
