  2. Descriptive Correlational Design in Research

    Descriptive correlational design is used in research studies that aim to provide static pictures of situations as well as establish the relationship between different variables (McBurney & White, 2009). In correlational research, two variables, such as the height and weight of individuals, are studied to establish their relationship.

  3. Correlational Research

    Correlational research is a type of research that investigates relationships between variables without controlling or manipulating them. It can be used to test non-causal or causal relationships, new measurement tools, or real-world situations. Learn how to collect, analyze, and interpret correlational data with examples and tips.

  4. 12 Quantitative Descriptive and Correlational Research

    Compared to descriptive and experimental designs, correlational research is less likely to be strictly inductive or deductive in nature. For example, sometimes researchers aim to explore associations among variables to see whether or not the associations exist, without hypotheses about the nature of those potential relationships (i.e ...

  5. Correlational Research

    A correlational research design investigates relationships between variables without the researcher controlling or manipulating any of them. A correlation reflects the strength and/or direction of the relationship between two (or more) variables. The direction of a correlation can be either positive or negative. Positive correlation.

  6. 3.2 Psychologists Use Descriptive, Correlational, and Experimental

    Descriptive, correlational, and experimental research designs are used to collect and analyze data. Descriptive designs include case studies, surveys, and naturalistic observation. The goal of these designs is to get a picture of the current thoughts, feelings, or behaviours in a given group of people.

    INTRODUCTION. In our previous article in this series, [ 1] we introduced the concept of "study designs"- as "the set of methods and procedures used to collect and analyze data on variables specified in a particular research question.". Study designs are primarily of two types - observational and interventional, with the former being ...

  9. Correlational Research

    Correlational research is a type of non-experimental research in which the researcher measures two variables (binary or continuous) and assesses the statistical relationship (i.e., the correlation) between them with little or no effort to control extraneous variables. There are many reasons that researchers interested in statistical ...

    Purpose. Descriptive research is used to uncover new facts and the meaning of research. Correlational research is carried out to measure two variables. Nature. Descriptive research is analytical, where in-depth studies help collect information during research. Correlational nature is mathematical in nature.

  13. Descriptive Research Design

    Descriptive research aims to accurately and systematically describe a population, situation or phenomenon. It can answer what, where, when, and how questions, but not why questions. A descriptive research design can use a wide variety of research methods to investigate one or more variables. Unlike in experimental research, the researcher does ...

  15. Descriptive Research and Qualitative Research

    Abstract. Descriptive research is a study of status and is widely used in education, nutrition, epidemiology, and the behavioral sciences. Its value is based on the premise that problems can be solved and practices improved through observation, analysis, and description. The most common descriptive research method is the survey, which includes ...
