A correlational study is specifically designed to measure the degree of relationship between two or more events or variables, regardless of whether they are manipulated or controlled by the researcher. Naturalistic observation involves observing behavior in its natural setting without intervening or manipulating any variables, while a clinical study typically involves the diagnosis and treatment of individuals with a specific condition. Surveys are typically used to collect self-report data from a large group of participants, and may be used in correlational studies but are not specific to measuring relationships between variables. Therefore, the best choice is correlational study.
