Correlational research is a type of research method used to examine the relationship between variables without the ability to infer cause-effect relationships. It is used to identify whether two or more variables are related and to what extent. Correlational statistics are the statistical techniques used to analyze the data collected through correlational research, but they alone do not refer to the method of conducting research.
