Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To determine whether frustration causes aggression, Irina needs to conduct an experiment where she can manipulate the independent variable (frustration) and measure the dependent variable (aggression). This will allow her to establish a cause-and-effect relationship. Correlation studies do not allow for such causal inferences, while prospective studies involve following individuals over time, which may not be feasible for Irina's research question. Narrative studies are not empirical and do not involve systematic data collection.
