Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Experimental research involves manipulating a factor (known as the independent variable) to observe its effect on another factor (known as the dependent variable). This allows researchers to establish cause-and-effect relationships between variables, which cannot be done with correlational or survey research. Qualitative research, on the other hand, involves gathering and interpreting non-numerical data and does not involve manipulation of variables.
