_______ research is interested in discovering relationships between variables. - Correlational.
,The degree of relationship between two variables is expressed as a numerical value called a correlational
coefficient, which is most commonly represented by the letter r. The correlation coefficient is a statistic
that tells us two things about the relationship between two variables—its strength and its direction. The
value of a correlation always falls between −1.00 and +1.00. The number or magnitude of the correlation
tells us about the strength of the relationship. The closer the number is to ±1.00, the stronger the
relationship. The sign (+ or −) tells us about the direction of the relationship between the variables. A
positive sign means that as one variable increases, the other also increases, or as one decreases the
other does as well. When variables are positively correlated, they change in the same direction. A
negative sign means that as one variable increases, the other decreases. Negatively correlated variables
change together but do so in the opposite direction. A zero correlation means that there is no systematic
relationship between the variables.

"Intelligence quotient", an individual's mental age divided by chronological age multiplied by 100
If mental age is the same as chronological age, then the individual's IQ is 100 (average); if mental age is
above chronological age, the IQ is more than 100 (above average); if mental age is below chronological
age, the IQ is less than 100 (below average). For example, a 6-year-old child with a mental age of 8 has
