• The measure of how much two factors change together & how well one factor predicts the other.

It is a type of research where it solves an immediate problem of society

• Basic Research

• Applied Research

• Analytical Research

• Correlational Research

It is a type of research that focuses on finding the relationship or association between different variables

• Analytical Research

• Causal Research

• Correlational Research

• Basic Research

It is characterized by the control of the research environment. Some variables are manipulated, and it is observed to see its effect on the other variables.

• Experimental Research
