Answer 1

Answer:

Correlational research          

Explanation:

Correlational research: This is one of the widely used non-experimental research techniques, in which the experimenter measures two different variables, assess and apprehend the statistical relationship between the variables without being influenced by the extraneous variable.

The research is often used in psychology, as a method of collecting information about a particular topic or any situation where experimenting is difficult.
