Correlational Research
Correlational Research is also known as Associational Research.
Relationships among two or more variables are studied without any attempt to influence them.
Investigates the possibility of relationships between two variables.
There is no manipulation of variables in Correlational Research.

Purpose of Correlational Research
Correlational studies are carried out to explain important human behavior or to predict likely outcomes (identify relationships among variables).
If a relationship of sufficient magnitude exists between two variables, it becomes possible to predict a score on either variable if a score on the other variable is known (Prediction Studies).
The variable that is used to make the prediction is called the predictor variable (independent).

Measures strength of the linear relationship between paired x- and y-quantitative values in a sample
Sometimes referred to as the Pearson product moment correlation coefficient

What Do Correlational Coefficients Tell Us?The meaning of a given correlation coefficient depends on
how it is applied.
Correlation coefficients below .35 show only a slight relationship between variables.
Correlations between .40 and .60 may have theoretical and/or practical value depending on the context.
Only when a correlation of .65 or higher is obtained, can one reasonably assume an accurate prediction.
Correlations over .85 indicate a very strong relationship between the variables correlated.
