But it is alluded to in the discussion (which I know isn't all that satisfactory): Perhaps not surprisingly, we found that Western Europeans ... feelings about minorities and immigrants. Education is also a factor: People with less education are more likely to take negative positions toward Muslims, Jews and immigrants. .... The phrasing used strongly seems to imply that, at least in some cases, this are the same individuals holding negative views for both. Yes, a better drilldown would have been to show when it is both. | |

Or plato.stanford.edu/entries/paradox-simpson/#NonCateDataLineRegr for more complex example(s) where the correlation at individual level is not just unknown but reverses. | |
| Apr 18 at 13:56 | comment | added | 264 champagne bottles on ice | This could be an ecological fallacy though. It might not be the same individuals who hate both Jews and Muslims. Consider a hypothetical country made of 50% Jews and 50% Muslims who totally hate the other group, but not their own coreligionists. If you have 20 countries like that hypothetical one and do a group-level correlation, it's exactly 1, i.e. perfect correlation, while the individual correlation is zero. The only way to know that is to do a correlation at individual response level, which your link doesn't show. | |
