purpose of this study is to deliberate the effects of socio-economic status and the

just data gathering; the latter is not reflective thinking or research. It often

involves some type of comparison or contrast.

Descriptive research defined as a research method that describes the

characteristics of the population or phenomenon that is being studied. This

methodology focuses more on the “what” of the research subject rather than the

“why” of the research subject. Correlational research is a type of non-

understands and assess the statistical relationship between them with no influence

from any extraneous variable.
