What is an example of a causal question?

Causal: Cause and Effect Questions Designed to determine whether one or more variables causes or affects one or more outcome variables. What is affect of exercise on heart rate? What is the effect hand fatigue on reaction time? What are the most potent vectors for disease transmission?

What is the relationship between exploratory descriptive and causal research?

An exploratory research approach entails the use of surveys, case studies, information from other studies, and qualitative analyses. In contrast, a descriptive research approach uses information from other studies, panels, analyses, and observation. Causal research design strictly uses experiments.

How do you conduct causal research?

To conduct causal research, the researcher designs an experiment that “controls,” or holds constant, all of a product’s marketing elements except one. The one variable is changed, and the effect is then measured.

What are the three categories of research design?

There are three main types of research design: Data collection, measurement, and analysis. The type of research problem an organization is facing will determine the research design and not vice-versa. The design phase of a study determines which tools to use and how they are used.

What are the two types of conclusive research?

Conclusive research can be sub-divided into two major categories:

• Descriptive or statistical research, and.
• Causal research.

Why qualitative research is not conclusive research?

Outcomes: Qualitative research typically is exploratory and/or investigative in nature. Its findings are often not conclusive and cannot automatically be used to make generalizations.

What do you mean by descriptive research?

Descriptive research aims to accurately and systematically describe a population, situation or phenomenon. It can answer what, where, when and how questions, but not why questions. Unlike in experimental research, the researcher does not control or manipulate any of the variables, but only observes and measures them.

What are causal designs?

A causal-comparative design is a research design that seeks to find relationships between independent and dependent variables after an action or event has already occurred. Thus, neither can definitively state that a true cause-and-effect relationship occurred between these variables.
