Descriptive and Correlational

It is a process of steps used to collect and analyze information to increase our understanding of a topic or issue.

• Statistics

• Research

• Problem Solving

• Experimentation

Describes what exists and may help to uncover new facts and meaning. This approach is used to describe variables rather than to test a predicted relationship between variables.

• Correlational

• Descriptive

• Mediation

• Moderation

A type of descriptive design that uses surveys to gather data about varying subjects. This data aims to know the extent to which different conditions can be obtained among these subjects.

• Descriptive-status

• Descriptive- normative survey

• Descriptive-survey  

• Descriptive-analysis

A type of non-experimental research in which the researcher measures two variables and assesses the statistical relationship between them with little or no effort to control extraneous variables. Sometimes called "associational research“.

• Descriptive

• Mediation

• Path Analysis

• Correlational

Both variables increase or decrease at the same time.

• Positive correlations

• Negative correlations

• Zero correlations

• Both positive and Negative correlations

As the amount of one variable increases, the other decreases (and vice versa).

• Positive correlation

• Negative correlation

• Zero correlation

• Both positive and negative correlation

It can answer "what is" and "what was" the nature of a situation as it exists at the time of the study and to explore the causes of particular phenomena through the collection of census data.

• Correlational

• Descriptive

• Mediation

• Path Analysis

A type of descriptive design with the addition being the normative element, the results of the study should be compared with the norm.

• Descriptive-analysis

• Descriptive-classification

• Descriptive-comparative

• Descriptive- normative

This method is employed in biological sciences for the classification of plants and animals. A researcher who wishes to classify the sea animals into different species will collect samples from various search stations, then classify them accordingly.

• Descriptive-analysis

• Descriptive-classification

• Descriptive-comparative

• Descriptive- normative

It is used to measure the strength of a linear association between two variables and is denoted by r.

• ANOVA

• Ttest

• Pearson Product-Moment Correlation

• Regression
