What is "casual evidence"?

Question

I'm reading about it in an essay I'm reading about the effects of violence in the media. there is apparently a difference between 'casual evidence' and and 'correlational evidence'. any social scientists out there know what the these mean?

Answer 1

I'm not a scientist but I would say casual evidence is something that is found casually, not really something looked for, or not directly related but helps maybe... where correlational evidence would be something directly related and found when looking directly for it.
