Evaluating a Research Conclusion
A clinical psychologist observes that clients who report higher levels of daily exercise also report lower levels of depressive symptoms. Based on this observation, the psychologist concludes that prescribing exercise is an effective treatment for depression and begins recommending it to all new clients with this diagnosis. Critically evaluate the psychologist's conclusion. In your evaluation, identify the primary weakness of the research approach used and propose a different research design that could more definitively test the conclusion.
