The role of top-down processing in the hollow-face illusion and the Ames room illusion is important.

You conducted a study on the relationship between alcohol consumption and depression among college students in which you distributed a survey to 300 college seniors. Students who completed the survey responded to a standardized questionnaire measuring depression symptoms and to a series of questions about their typical alcohol consumption patterns. The results of your study indicated that the correlation between depression and alcohol consumption was +.34.

Explain what this correlation means in terms of direction and strength.

One possible explanation for this relationship is that depression causes people to drink more. What are two other possible explanations for this correlation? What are they?

This study was a descriptive/correlational study. Explain to me why you would NOT use an experimental study to examine these two variables.
