Correlational research-n general, a correlational study is a

quantitative method of research in which you have 2 or more quantitative


variables from the same group of subjects, & you are trying to determine if
there is a relationship (or covariation) between the 2 variables (a similarity
between them, not a difference between their means).

settings uses correlational techniques to infer associations among variables of interest.
This paper reviews some of the problems with this type of research and develops a
checklist for judging the validity of the research methods and designs employed. A
sample of published correlational studies is evaluated, using the checklist. In many
cases these studies were found to have serious design problems. Potential remedies and
responses to these problems are

Explanatory research-This paper discusses a survey regarding tourist
decision-making, conducted in the Province of New Brunswick in the
Canadian Maritime Provinces. Based on the results of the survey, a model is
built that incorporates the most important travel decisions in the sequence
most travelers follow. A number of recommendations are made regarding the
location and type of tourist facilities to be offered and promoted.

Example-
The design, implementation, and capabilities of an extensible visualization
system, UCSF Chimera, are discussed. Chimera is segmented into
a core that provides basic services and visualization, and extensions that
provide most higher level functionality. This architecture ensures that the
extension mechanism satisfies the demands of outside developers who wish
to incorporate new features. Two unusual extensions are presented:
Multiscale, which adds the ability to visualize large-scale molecular
assemblies such as viral coats, and Collaboratory, which allows researchers
to share a Chimera session interactively despite being at separate locales.
Other extensions include Multalign Viewer, for showing multiple sequence
alignments
Explanatory research-This guide defines action research and provides historical and
theoretical contexts for its use. Specific advice is given for the teacher-researchers engaging in
action research, and a case study provides an extended example of the action research
process. The chapters are: (1) "Understanding Action Research"; (2) "Deciding on an Area of
Focus"; (3) "Data Collection Techniques"; (4) "Data Collection Considerations: Validity,
Reliability, Generalizability, and Ethics"; (5) "Data Analysis and Interpretation"; (6) "Action
Planning for Educational Change"; (7) "Sharing, Critiquing, and Celebrating Action Research";
(8) "On-Line Action Research Resources"; and (9) "Action Research in Action: A Case Study of
Curtis Elementary." (Contains 82 references.) (SLD)

Example-An action research project is usually restricted to improving one workgroup's practices
within one organisation. However, after that project is done, some academics or consultants may want to
try to generalise the findings from that one particular project to several other situations. The aim of this
paper is to identify the two scientific paradigms appropriate for each of these two purposes, and to identify
the criteria that could be used to judge how well each purpose is achieved. Essentially, it argues that the
critical theory paradigm underlies the action research project of a workgroup within one organisation, and
the realism paradigm underlies the generalisation from those findings to other situations. Criteria from the
two paradigms can be used to evaluate the validity and reliability of these two processes. An example of
how this has been done in practice, is provided.
