Experimental research designs are used to determine cause and effect relationships between variables by manipulating one variable (the independent variable) and observing the effects on another variable (the dependent variable). This allows researchers to determine why certain behaviors occur and what factors contribute to their occurrence. Correlational and quasi-experimental designs can provide insight into relationships between variables but do not establish causal relationships in the same way as experimental designs.
