Identify the Modes

Causal AnalysisWhat Causal Analysis Does:Focuses on explanationsShows a connection between a situation and its cause or effectAnswers the question: 1) “Why did this happen?” OR 2) “What will this do?”Explanation of CAUSEPrediction of EFFECT

Causal Analysis: When & how to UseWhen to use:Trying to explain WHY something happenedTrying to predict the likely results if an event does or does not occurHow to use:Know the difference between necessary, sufficient, and contributory causeMake your purpose clearBe modest in your choice of subjectConcentrate on immediate rather than remote causeDon’t be arrogant about causeUse common sense in asserting causeCause Situation Effect

Causal Analysis: When & how to UseHow to use:Know the difference between necessary, sufficient, and contributory causeNecessary Cause: must be present for the effect to occur But, it alone cannot make the effect occurEX: Irrigation is necessary for a crop of good grapes, but irrigation alone will not cause a good crop.What else is necessary?

Causal Analysis: When & how to UseHow to use:Know the difference between necessary, sufficient, and contributory causeSufficient Cause: can produce a given effect by itself.EX: An empty gas tank can keep a car from running even though other problems may be present.List three other “Sufficient” causes: 1. 2. 3.

Causal Analysis: When & how to UseHow to use:Know the difference between necessary, sufficient, and contributory causeContibutory Cause: Might produce an effect but cannot produce the effect by itselfEX: Vitamin E may help a long distance runner win a race, but cannot by itself determine the performance of a runner who got a bad start, didn’t train well, etc. The runner may also win the race without the help of Vitamin E.List three other “contributory” causes: 1. 2. 3.

Causal Analysis: When & how to UseHow to use:Know the difference between necessary, sufficient, and contributory causeFew causes are “sufficient”; most are merely necessary or contributoryDo not say: “A vegetarian diet will prevent cancer.”Do say: “A vegetarian diet is a contributing factor in preventing cancer.”Qualifying statements: “may be”, “is one of the reasons,” “is a major cause,” “is influenced by,”etc.
