OF THE THREE WHICH RESEARCH METHOD IS BEST?	SURVEY
SURVEY	IS THE WAY TO OBTAIN INFORMATION BY ASKING MANY INDIVIDUALS EITHER PERSON TO PERSON, BY TELEPHONE, OR BY MAIL TO ANSWER A FIXED SET OF QUESTIONS ABOUT PARTICULAR SUBJECTS.
CASE STUDY	IS AN IN DEPTH ANALYSIS OF THE THOUGHTS, FEELINGS, BELIEFS, EXPERIENCES, BEHAVIORS, OR PROBLEMS OF A SINGLE INDIVIDUAL.

WHAT IS THE ONLY TYPE OF RESEARCH THAT CAN ESTABLISH CAUSE AND EFFECT?	AN EXPERIMENT
NATURALISTIC SETTING	IS A RELATIVELY NORMAL ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH RESEARCHERS GATHER INFORMATION BY OBSERVING INDIVIDUALS BEHAVIORS WITHOUT ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE OR CONTROL THE SITUATION.
