Knowledge known as political education in lieu of formmal education. Some who are economically well off are found to be more politically conscious because they mingled with the elite. There is thus a practice which all researchers have to be aware of. That is when claiming relationship or association between two variable such education and political consciousness mentioned above,the term ceteris paribus or other things being equal or other variables remaining constant have to immediately follow as a condition.it is to be noted also that if A then B ,can at best be taken as correlation not causation as in the case of physical or natural science because the proven evidence is not preciseby identifying the cause and effect.indeed,in the case of social science,the equation of independent variable and dependent variable are loosely allowed because by logic and inferences,seemingly the factors can be identified as independent and dependent variable although there is no hard and fast evidence to prove definitively. In research the way to hold other vaiables constant is to single out the independent and dependent variables by weeding out other variables which may exert therir influence on the two variables. The way to do this is to select people with the same gender, the same income bracket, the same religion, the same age bracket,the same domicile, etc,leaving only the two variables under study to see their correlation
