b Experimental and ex post facto research designs.
“Experimental design is appropriate when one wishes to discover whether certain variables produce effects in other variables” (Cooper and Schindler, 2011 p. 141). “Ex post facto research design can only report what has happened or what is happening” (Cooper and Schindler, 2011 p. 141).
c Descriptive and causal studies.
Descriptive is finding out who, what, when, where or how much?
Casual-explanatory is finding out why/how a variable causes change in another variable. “A causal-predictive study attempts to predict an effect on one variable by manipulating another variable while holding all other variables constant” (Cooper and Schindler, 2011 p. 141).
2 Establishing causality is difficult, whether conclusions have been derived inductively or deductively. Source? (1/1.5) Explain and elaborate!!! a Explain and elaborate on the implications of this statement. The
