Positive correlation means there is no relationship between two variables.

Positive correlation indicates a causal relationship between two variables.

What is negative correlation?

Two variables change in different directions, with one becoming larger as the other becomes smaller; a negative correlation is not the same thing as no correlation

Negative correlation means the variables move in the same direction

What is a double-blind study?

Experiment in which both the researchers and the participants are blind to group assignments

A double-blind study is a research design where the researchers know who is receiving the placebo, but not the treatment.
