Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The experimental method involves manipulating one variable to observe the effect on another variable. This allows for the identification of cause-and-effect relationships between variables. The other methods listed (naturalistic observation, correlational method, and case study) do not involve manipulation of variables and therefore cannot establish cause-and-effect relationships.
