Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Experimental research involves manipulating one variable (the independent variable) in order to observe its effect on another variable (the dependent variable). This method allows for the demonstration of cause-and-effect relationships between variables. Descriptive research involves simply describing a phenomenon or group of people, while correlational research involves examining the relationship between two or more variables without manipulating them. Meta-analytic research involves combining and analyzing data from multiple studies.
