🗑
Experimental research   Demonstrates a cause and effect relationship between two variables.  
🗑
Differential research   Involves two groups of scores and focuses on the difference between groups but it does not determine cause-and-effect relationship  
🗑
Positive relationship   Two variables change in the same direction  
🗑
Negative relationship   Two variables change in opposite directions.  
🗑
Linear relationship   The data points in the scatter plot tend to cluster around a straight line.  
🗑

🗑
Coefficient of determination   the squared value of a correlation

Statistical significance of a correlation   The correlation is unlikely to have been produced by random variation.  
🗑
Prediction   A correlational study demonstrating a relationship between two variables  
🗑
Regression   The statistical process for using one variable to predict the other  
🗑
The third variable problem   Because two variables are related, does not mean that there must be a direct relationship between the two variables.  
🗑
The directionality problem   A correlational study does not establish a relationship of cause-and-effect.
