Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A correlational study is the most appropriate research method as it examines the relationship between two variables (stress and visits to the college mental health clinic) without manipulating any variables. This method will allow Professor Nelson to determine if there is a relationship between the two variables and the strength and direction of that relationship, without having to conduct an experiment.
