Study Skills and Critical Thinking Quiz 3Read First The media love to make statements suggesting one thing causes another. Consider this statement; “Young people at risk of depression are more likely to listen habitually and repetitively to heavy metal music.” For the original report see here http://newsroom.melbourne.edu/news/n-666 This statement is not causal. In fact the original research did not demonstrate a causal link.

This can be aided by the media. For example journalist reporting the same study commented “Heavy metal linked to depression” reported here http://www.sciencealert.com.au/news/2011241022755.html 2.Read the article describing the rise in antidepressant prescriptions and the association of this with the Global Financial Crisis (GFC).
