Okay so first number one here are the key differences between correlational research.
00:05
Well first would be the direction of research.
00:09
So correlational research can reveal whether two variables have a positive correlation, negative correlation, or no correlation.
00:17
So positive is going to mean as one variable increases the other does too.
00:22
Negative means as one variable increases the other is going to decrease.
00:26
And then second would be causation.
00:34
So while correlational research can identify a relationship between variables it cannot determine causality.
00:42
So just because two variables are correlated does not mean it does not necessarily mean that one caused the other.
00:50
So then second we have reasons researchers might use methods other than experiments.
00:56
So first would be ethical considerations.
00:59
Some research questions might involve situations that are unethical to manipulate in an experiment.
01:04
So for instance it might it would be probably unethical to subject individuals to harmful substances right just to see their effects.
01:11
And then secondly would be the practicality.
01:15
Okay so some variables can't be easily manipulated or controlled in an experiment...
