There are three criteria that must be met to establish a cause-effect relationship:
- The cause must occur before the effect.
- Whenever the cause occurs, the effect must also occur.
- There must not be another factor that can explain the relationship between the cause and effect.

How do you identify cause and effect in a sentence?
It's often easy to spot a cause-and-effect sentence. We can look for keywords like “so” or “because.” These words help to signal a cause-and-effect relationship.
What are some examples of cause and effect?
For example, a man offends his neighbor by insulting him (the cause). His neighbor becomes angry (the effect and the next cause) and he in turn tells his friends (the next effect and cause). His friends also become angry (another effect and cause) and tell their friends (another effect and cause).
How do you identify cause and effect in research?
The three criteria for establishing cause and effect – association, time ordering (or temporal precedence), and non-spuriousness – are familiar to most researchers from courses in research methods or statistics.
What are the 3 types of cause and effect?
Two teaching strategies are often effective in teaching students to recognize and understand the cause/effect text structure: teaching signal words (because, so, and since) and teaching the three types of cause/effect relationships (stated, unstated, and sequential).
