Question

The research goal of "prediction" is most associated with _________ research, and the research goal of "explanation" is most associated with _________ research

Answer 1

The research goal of 'prediction' is most associated with correlation research, and the research goal of 'explanation' is most associated with experimental research.

Explanation:

• When a particular research is carried out to merely predict a larger outcome out of a miniature study using miniature versions of the variable, the aim of the research usually is to determine whether or not there is any correlation between the procedure and the predicted outcome.
• On the other hand, when research is conducted to determine what the outcome is without having an outcome already predicted, it's aim is to dispense an explanation about the phenomenon.
