It cannot be used to demonstrate cause and effect relationships.
The advantage of the correlational research method is the ability to prove a positive or negative correlation between two subjects . The disadvantage of this is the unclear interpreation of cause and affect. moletsane
how does experimental research differ importantly from correlational research methods Correlational Research are predictions and are mostly based on statistics. Whereas Experimental Research is based on experiment and explaination.

Correlational
Causation cannot be determined... You cannot be certain which is the cause and which is the effect, as the correlational data is only supporting the idea that they are both occurring together.
correlational
Research is classified based on purpose and by method. A research can be done for the purpose of either developing a theory or making a decision. It can be done by historical or correlational research.
Correlational research
Three basic research designs are experimental, correlational, and quasi-experimental.Experimental designs have random assignment to conditions. Correlational designs define the relationship between two measured values. Quasi-experimental designs have participants grouped on a variable that isn't manipulated.
