The best way to prove causation is through a series of tests. If your hypothesis continues to show that one event causes another, then you have proven causation.

Proving causation requires establishing a direct relationship between a specific factor (cause) and a particular outcome. This is typically done through empirical evidence, such as controlled experiments or observational studies, that show a consistent association between the cause and effect. It is important to consider alternative explanations and potential confounding variables when attempting to prove causation.

Data from a survey can prove that changes in one variable cause changes in another variable.?

While survey data can show correlations between variables, it does not necessarily prove causation. Other factors may be influencing the relationship observed in the survey. To establish causation, additional research such as experiments or longitudinal studies are typically needed.


Does a strong positive correlation prove causation?

A strong positive correlation does not prove causation. People only get sunburned during daylight hours. Sundials only work during daylight hours. Therefore sundials cause sunburns. The above sentences show how absurd such predicate thinking could be. Simply because two events usually occur at the same time does not mean they are related. One man found a perfect correlation between the price of whiskey and Chicago school teachers' salaries. No possible relationship could possibly exist except the rate of prosperity and inflation. Causation is difficult to prove.

What is legal causation?

Factual causation is the starting point and consists of applying the 'but for' test. In most instances, where there exist no complicating factors, factual causation on its own will suffice to establish causation. However, in some circumstances it will also be necessary to consider legal causation. Under legal causation the result must be caused by a culpable act, there is no requirement that the act of the defendant was the only cause, there must be no novus actus interveniens and the defendant must take his victim as he finds him (thin skull rule).Added: Causation means causing or producing an event. Causation is the relationship of cause and effect of an act or omission and damages alleged in a tort or personal injury action. A plaintiff in a tort action must prove a 'duty' to do, or not do, an action and a breach of that duty. It must also be established that the loss was caused by the defendant's action or inaction.
