What is the type of design used in descriptive studies that describes the strength and nature of relationships between two varia
bles without clarifying the underlying causes of that relationship is labeled as:A.Cross-sectional design B.Longitudinal design C.Case study designD.Correlational design
Correlational designs seek to study the relationship between two or more variables in a piece of research. For example, a news article called "Students with healthy diets get better grades at school" is probably based in a correlational study.
It's important to recognise that correlation is <u>not</u> the same as causation. This means: even if two variables appear to be related, that does <u>not</u> indicate a direct cause-effect relationship.
