Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In an experimental design, researchers manipulate one variable (the independent variable) and measure its effect on another variable (the dependent variable), effectively assigning participants an "X" score and then measuring their "Y" score. In a correlational design, researchers observe and measure variables as they naturally occur without manipulation, thus measuring scores on variables that participants have already experienced.
