AP PSYCHOLOGY

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: -Correlational researchattempts to determine the extent of a relationship between two or more variables using statistical data. In this type of design, relationships between and among a number of facts are sought and interpreted.

Detailed explanation-3: -The correlation coefficient is calculated by determining the covariance of the variables and dividing that number by the product of those variables’ standard deviations.

Detailed explanation-4: -The outcome is known as the dependent variable and the variables being tested for association are the independent variables.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
