Highlight the major difference between Experimental designs, and correlation research. In addition to highlighting the differences, explain when and why each is used.
SOLUTION:
Correlational research--In correlational design study a researcher looks for connection between naturally occurring variables which are set of association of important variables and values used in experimental scientific formula along with statistical values.In this method variables are not manipulated, they are only measured. The researcher does not have any control over the variables. He just collects the information found by him and just checks whether they are corelated and if the change in one variable effects the other variable.
Experimental design--it includes the analysis of values after the conduction of experiments on scientific machines.In experimental design study the researcher introduces a change and then monitors its effects. It is important to be able to distinguish between correlational and experimental designs, because only well-controlled experimental designs allow conclusions about cause and effect.
