Correlational Research “Correlation is a statistical technique that can show whether and how strongly pairs of variables are related” (Creative Research Systems‚ 2010). Correlation research method is used in scientific research to study the association and/or relationship between variables. When the association between two variables becomes correlation coefficient‚ it is being calculated through quantitative measure. The goal for using this method is to observe if one or more variables cause

Correlational Research Guidelines Conducting Correlational Research Research Design In general‚ a correlational study is a quantitative method of research in which you have 2 or more quantitative variables from the same group of subjects‚ & you are trying to determine if there is a relationship (or covariation) between the 2 variables (a similarity between them‚ not a difference between their means).
