Understanding Correlational Research

Correlational research aims to identify relationships between two or more variables through non-experimental methods like correlation and regression analysis. Correlation analysis techniques like Pearson, Spearman, and Kendall correlations can determine if associations exist between variables but do not prove causation. Regression analysis, including simple, multiple, and canonical regression, can further examine correlations and predict relationships while accounting for third variables, but cannot establish that one variable causes another.

. Correlational studies as a means of looking for relations between variables when experiment cant be done. Correlation and Causation 1. Correlation is a first step to determine causation. If there is no association between two variables then there is no causal connection. 2. Correlation does not prove causation.
