Trying to figure out what people are doing and why they are doing it. Quantitative analysis is
mainly concerned with facts and statistics derived from data gathered via numeric variables,
which are analyzed using graphs and tables. This strategy is commonly used to test theories
that support or refute it. When quantitative data is acquired through descriptive or inferential
One of the most significant distinctions between non-experimental and experimental research
Correlational research is a research method that involves comparison of two variables to see
if there is a relationship between them. The fact that correlation is employed for non-
experimental research is one of its key properties. It's used to anticipate a variable and is
dynamic, which means it can't be utilized on static data because it's constantly changing
associations can all be identified through correlational research. The most important thing to
remember about correlation is that it does not imply causation. That statement implies that
between two variables. There are three types of data collection methodologies: the survey
method, the naturalistic observation method, and the archival data method. Correlation
research can be used in the following example: if one want to know if those who are wealthy
are less patient. You believe that affluent individuals are impatient based on your personal
experience. However, you want to find a statistical pattern that supports or refutes your
hypothesis. In this scenario, correlational research can be used to find a pattern that connects
both variables.
