Multiple Choice

A researcher is interested in examining whether offering children candy as an incentive to share will increase preschoolers' sharing behaviour. A group of preschoolers is brought into the laboratory to play with some interesting toys. The preschoolers are split into two groups through random assignment.

Which statement BEST describes a possible limitation of this study?

• A)Children in group A may have been naturally kinder than were children in group B.
• B)Causation cannot be inferred from this type of study.
