Question
**Section D: Analysis of the Relationship Between Stress and Drinking**

**Understanding Causal Relationships:**

1. **Causal Relationship Establishment:**
   - What three specific things would you have to establish to show that this relationship is causal? Be specific.

2. **Direction of Relationship:**
   - Indicate in which direction you posit the relationship (positive or negative) and why. Are both plausible or not really?

3. **Dependent and Independent Variables:**
   - Which is the dependent variable and which is the independent variable? Explain why. Is the reverse possible? (e.g., if you said stress was independent, could it actually depend on drinking? If you said drinking was independent, could it actually depend on stress) What difference would it make for your conclusions if both causal directions were plausible?
