Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cassie is studying the relationship (correlation) between two variables, depression and anxiety, which makes it a correlational study. An experimental study involves manipulating one variable to observe the effect on another, which is not what Cassie is doing. Causal and unidirectional studies are not typical terms used in psychology research.
