Answer 2

The three main types of psychological research are Correlational research. Descriptive research. Experimental research. Social psychologists use correlational research to look for relationships between variables. For example, social psychologists might carry out a correlational study looking at the relationship between media violence and aggression. In the media violence is normalized often making people not as sensitive to it anymore and this might cause them to become for violent.
