Correlations
are
similarities
between
two categories.
View source
A
mathematical technique
, researchers investigate an association between two
co-variables.
View source
Positive
correlation is when one variable goes
up
so does the other.
View source
Negative correlation
is when one variable goes
up
so does the other.
View source
None
correlation
is when there is
no relationship
between the two.
View source
Experiment has a
direct
and
deliberate manipulation
of the
independent
variable to measure the
dependent
variable.
View source
Evaluations
provide insight into
relationships
of two variables and allow
future
research.
View source
Evaluations
are
quick
and
inexpensive
, using
secondary
data and
quantitative
data.
View source
The
maximum
value of a correlation
co-efficient
is
1
, indicating how
closely
co variables are
related.
View source
Limitations of evaluations include not understanding how
variables
are related, no
cause
and
effect
, and the potential for
intervening
variables such as
sleep
,
mental illness
,
jobs
, and
environment.
View source
Evaluations
are possible to do further experiment.
View source
Correlation
does not involve the
manipulation
of the
variables.
View source
Correlation
is not
causation.
