- Correlations
- A correlation is an association or relationship that is found between two variables.
- The variables are called co-variables.
- Positive: both co-variables increase/decrease together.
- Negative: one co-variable increases + the other decreases.
- Correlation cannot establish causation as there is not a manipulated IV.
- STRENGTH
- Allows the study of variables that cannot be examined directly due to ethical or practical reasons
- WEAKNESS
- It is impossible to know if one variable has caused the other. There may be other variables that are creating the relationship
