Review paper

Correlational research is a type of non-experimental research method, in which a researcher measures two variables, understands and assesses the statistical relationship between them with no influence from any extraneous variable. It is designed to test research hypotheses in cases where it is not possible or desirable to experimentally manipulate the independent variable of interest. It is also desirable because it allows the investigation of behavior in naturally occurring situations. This article reviews the purpose, design, methods, threats and other aspects like pros and cons of correlational research. It also considers the possible topics that can be investigated in correlational research.

Key Words: Correlation, Design, Method
