Introduction:
If Stouffer-Kendall-Lazarsfeld had associated the deferment of friends before education, they may have reached the conclusion that more people went for higher education with the goal of being deferred from the draft. If people noticed their friends getting deferred, they would also want to be deferred, and being in college sometimes allowed that.
Explanation of Solution
Answer and explanation:
(This question calls for a subjective answer. This is an example of an appropriate response.)
Stouffer-Kendal-Lazarsfeld found that, when they began with association by education, then to friends being deferred, there was no connection between education and deferment. If they associated friend before moving to education, they might have found that the attitudes of friends could have driven the decision to seek higher education in order to gain deferment. The order in which associations are made makes a difference in how we view cause and effect.
