5. Describe the differences between correlational and experimental research especially with respect to issues of causality and prediction.
Correlational research is what allows us to predict outcomes of possible events. It assists to point out naturally happening relationships. This helps to show what has a possibility of a cause- effect relationship, although it may not be able to produce evidence that is proof. Although this does not prove that there is any one cause to a certain outcome of any possible event.
Experimental research is a way in which scientists explores different ways in which you can change a factor of how the outcome of the behavior will be. This enables us to be able to observe and report the effects. Prediction may be used before the actual tests are ran but in the end they play a small part if not found true. They are what scientists base there questions on but the factual data they take will not be a prediction.
