Nope. You could show the correlation between two variables, but not the cause and effects. Cause and effects studies are more complicated. You need at least two groups, so you need to reproduce the cause (treatment) exactly the same way at least two times to measure the effects. Isolate and control all variables... Choose the subjects randomly. If you cannot (because the group is already formed, like a class for example): randomize the two treatments to the subjects. In that case you would have a one group, and one time experiment! But again: this would only show the correlation between two variables.
You can look the different kinds of experimenting up on the net... on social psychology sites probably. Students in social psychology do lots of experimenting.
Good luck.

Bad sampling rate.
Really good idea if you're good at media hype and are more interested in obtaining government grants. Why bother to do real science when the government will pay you so much more to pursue the proper agenda?
