Correlational method vs quasi- experimental design


All Answers (3 Answers In All)

By Manoj Answered 5 years ago

In the correlational design a researcher will be interested in a possible relationship between  two variables that aren’t under the researcher’s control. For example, you might hypothesis that IQ scores and  working memory capacity are positively related, but you cannot manipulate neither IQ nor memory capacity here.

The quasi-experimental design regards to a situation where a researcher will be studying naturally occurring groups.  For instance, if a researcher wants to compare men’s and women’s performance on math problems,  then the researcher will not be able to manipulate the gender of the participants.  He/she can just get some men & women and compare their math performance.

If you are conducting research in cognitive psychology, then I would suggest you to use experimental method. This is the most effective method among all other approaches.
