Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A correlational study would be the most appropriate method because it examines the relationship between two variables, in this case, stress and visits to the mental health clinic. A pseudoscientific research method is not appropriate because it is not grounded in scientific principles. A meta-analysis is not appropriate because it is a statistical analysis of existing research studies, rather than an independent study. A naturalistic experiment is not appropriate because it would be unethical to manipulate stress levels in participants.
