Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Correlational studies examine the relationship between two variables and allow us to make predictions about one variable based on our knowledge of the other. Case studies are detailed examinations of a single subject or small group and do not usually make predictions. Experimental studies involve manipulating variables to determine cause and effect, but do not necessarily involve predicting outcomes. Naturalistic studies are observational and describe behavior in its natural context but do not provide predictions.
