Detailed explanation-1: -What is correlational research? A correlational research design investigates relationships between two variables (or more) without the researcher controlling or manipulating any of them. It’s a non-experimental type of quantitative research.

Detailed explanation-2: -Correlational research involves measuring two variables and assessing the relationship between them, with no manipulation of an independent variable. Correlational research is not defined by where or how the data are collected.

Detailed explanation-3: -Correlation means that there is a relationship between two or more variables (such as ice cream consumption and crime), but this relationship does not necessarily imply cause and effect. When two variables are correlated, it simply means that as one variable changes, so does the other.

Detailed explanation-4: -Experimental design is how you plan to analyze the relationships between variables in your study.

Detailed explanation-5: -Correlational design helps researchers determine the direction and strength of the relationship between different variables. Correlational methods are easier to interpret, cost-effective, and more applicable in day-to-day business decision-making.
