Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Experimental research involves manipulating one or more factors while controlling others to determine cause-effect relationships. Correlational research looks for relationships between variables without manipulating them, laboratory research takes place in a controlled setting, and field research takes place in a natural setting without control over variables. Therefore, experimental research is the best choice.
