Wikipedia says about GQ:
GQ (formerly Gentlemen's Quarterly) is an American international monthly men's magazine based in New York City and founded in 1931. The publication focuses on fashion, style, and culture for men, though articles on food, movies, fitness, sex, music, travel, sports, technology, and books are also featured.And all that's being suggested is correlation. No one is assuming causality. Even GQ can establish correlation.
Sorry, I dont see any point in this statement.
There's a huge gulf of a difference between causation and correlation. Although many people think they are the same or nearly the same.
Correlation merely says that A and B frequently happen together.
For a detailed study on correlation not causation, click here.
Correlation is very easy to prove.
Causation says that A and B not only frequently happen together, but, I fact, A causes B or B causes A.
For a discussion of causation, click here.
Proving causation can be much more difficult.
Regarding the referenced article, all that's being claimed is that there's a correlation between IQ/Education and nudity, which would not require very much scientific rigor to establish. The article/study does not claim that IQ/Education causes nudity or that nudity causes IQ/Education. That would be very difficult to establish scientifically.
Thank you to your explanation of correlation, mensasnem.There's a huge gulf of a difference between causation and correlation. Although many people think they are the same or nearly the same.
A possible reason could be that people with an advanced degree earn more money and can have a big house with a swimming-pool where they can be nude without anybody else see them. People with a lower degree have not such a possibility. That's my opinion and has no scientific background. If I were right people with an advanced or lower degree are both shameful and none of them have a better relation to nudism. This could be an explanation for the correlation but only one of many others which are thinkable.
. to listen to many of the parties on tn with degrees and othe advanced learning you often seem to miss the boat. How you approach topics of nudism is as if you know it all. or your entitled to think your is the correct thinking when in fact your bias and taught smugness shows thru and is missleading of Nudism .
