Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Correlational research examines the relationship between two factors and identifies whether an association or correlation exists between them. However, correlational research cannot establish causation, and therefore cannot determine that changing one factor will result in changes in the other factor. This is the key difference between correlational research and experimental research. In experimental research, the researcher can manipulate one factor (independent variable) and observe its effect on the other factor (dependent variable) to establish causality.
