Card 38 / 104: Dr. X discovered that the correlation between therapists who hold NCC status and therapists who practice systematic desensitization is .90. A student who perused Dr. X’s research told his fellow students that Dr. X had discovered that attaining NCC status causes therapists to become behaviorally oriented. The student is incorrect because
A) systematic desensitization is clearly not a behavioral strategy
B) this can only be determined via a histogram
C) the study suffers from longitudinal and maturational effects
D) correlation does not imply causal
