Detailed explanation-1: -Correlational research is a type of nonexperimental research in which the researcher measures two variables and assesses the statistical relationship (i.e., the correlation) between them with little or no effort to control extraneous variables.

Detailed explanation-2: -Correlation Coefficient: A statistical measure of the extent to which two factors vary together, and thus how well either factor predicts the other.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is correlation? Correlation is a statistical measure that expresses the extent to which two variables are linearly related (meaning they change together at a constant rate).

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Correlational research involves measuring two variables and assessing the relationship between them, with no manipulation of an independent variable. Correlation does not imply causation.
