Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The observation of the relationship between temperature and clothing choice is an example of correlational research, as it involves observing and measuring the relationship between two variables (temperature and clothing choice) without manipulating any variables. This type of research is commonly used in psychology to understand the natural relationships between variables. The other answer choices are not appropriate because experimental research involves manipulating variables, controlled research is not a recognized term in psychology research, and hypothetical research is not a type of research method.
