RES 3070 - Correlational Research

Quantitative correlational research is a structured way of collecting and analyzing data to quantify a problem and understand existing and predictive relationships between variables using measurement and statistical tools to derive results that can be generalized to larger populations. This course provides an in-depth understanding of correlational designs and correlation, regression, and factor analysis and the practical skills necessary to design and conduct correlational research. Students identify how the theoretical and philosophical foundations of correlational research align with their own philosophical orientations. Students locate, review, and critique examples of correlational research studies. Students evaluate issues of research safety, ethics, and feasibility within their proposed research. Finally, students design 1research proposal that reflects their dissertation plan.
