Correlational research establishes relationships between variables but does not determine cause-and-effect. It uses correlation coefficients to measure the direction and strength of relationships between two variables. Statistical analysis of scores from each individual on two variables can show their relationship graphically in a scatter plot. Experimental research determines cause-and-effect relationships, while descriptive research explores characteristics without determining relationships.
Introduction In life, there are universal laws that govern everything we do. These laws are so perfect that if you were to align yourself with them, you could have so much prosperity that it would be coming out of your ears. This is because God created the universe in the image and likeness of him. It is failure to follow the universal laws that causes one to fail. The laws that were created consisted of the following: · Law of Gratitude: The Law of Gratitude states that you must show gratitude for what you have. By having gratitude, you speed your growth and success faster than you normally would. This is because if you appreciate the things you have, even if they are small things, you are open to receiving more. Law of Attraction: The Law of Attraction states that if you focus your attention on something long enough you will get it. It all starts in the mind. You think of something and when you think of it, you manifest that in your life. This could be a mental picture of a check or actual cash, but you think about it with an image. Law of Karma: the Law of Karma states that if you go out and do something bad, it will come back to you with something bad. If you do well for others, good things happen to you. The principle here is to know you can create good or bad through your actions. There will always be an effect no matter what. Law of Love: the Law of Love states that love is more than emotion or feeling; it is energy. It has substance and can be felt. Love is also considered acceptance of oneself or others. This means that no matter what you do in life if you do not approach or leave the situation out of love, it won't work. Law of Allowing: The Law of Allowing states that for us to get what we want, we must be receptive to it. We can't merely say to the Universe that we want something if we don't allow ourselves to receive it. This will defeat our purpose for wanting it in the first place. Law of Vibration: the Law of Vibration states that if you wish on something and use your thoughts to visualize it, you are halfway there to get it. To complete the cycle you must use the Law of Vibration to feel part of what you want. Do this and you'll have anything you want in life. For everything to function properly there has to be structure. Without structure, our world, or universe, would be in utter chaos. Successful people understand universal laws and apply them daily. They may not acknowledge that to you, but they do follow the laws. There is a higher power and this higher power controls the universe and what we get out of it. People who know this, but wish to direct their own lives, follow the reasons. Successful people don't sit around and say "I'll try," they say yes and act on it. Chapter - 1 The Law of Attraction The law of attraction is the most powerful force in the universe. If you work against it, it can only bring you pain and misery. Successful people know this but have kept it hidden from the lower class for centuries because th
Correlation is a statistical technique used to determine the degree of relationship between two variables. Correlational research aims to identify and describe relationships but does not imply causation. Positive correlation indicates high scores on one variable are associated with high scores on the other, while negative correlation means high scores on one variable are associated with low scores on the other. Correlational research can be used for explanatory or predictive purposes. More complex techniques like multiple regression allow prediction using combinations of variables. Threats to internal validity like subject characteristics must be controlled.
The document discusses different types of non-experimental quantitative research designs, including descriptive studies, relationship studies, comparative studies, correlational studies, prediction studies, causal-comparative/ex-post facto studies, and surveys. Relationship studies are important in non-experimental designs because they allow researchers to identify possible causes, variables to study, and ways to predict the value of one variable based on others. The key difference between cross-sectional and longitudinal surveys is that cross-sectional surveys collect information from samples at one time, while longitudinal surveys study the same group of subjects over an extended period of time.
This document discusses correlational research designs. Correlational studies can show relationships between two variables to indicate cause and effect or predict future outcomes. There are three main types of correlational studies: observational research, survey research, and archival research. Correlational research allows analysis of relationships among many variables and provides correlation coefficients to measure direction and degree of relationships. Interpreting correlations involves scattergrams, correlation coefficients from -1 to 1, and determining explained variance through r-squared values. However, correlation does not necessarily prove causation as third variables could be the true cause.
This study aimed to compare teacher feedback, student self-regulated learning, and the relationship between these factors in high-achieving versus low-achieving secondary schools. Specifically, the study sought to determine if there were differences in (1) the types of mathematics teacher feedback, (2) students' self-regulated learning in mathematics, and (3) the relationships between teacher feedback and student self-regulated learning between high- and low-achieving schools. The study was motivated by research suggesting school climate and culture can impact these factors differently in high versus low performing schools.
