Answer: correlational research method.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correlational method involves looking at relationships between two or more variables. ... Another point is that while correlational research can reveal if a relationship exists between variables, this kind of research cannot prove that changes to one variable lead to changes to another variable.

Correlational research is a type of non-experimental research method, in which a researcher measures two variables, understands and assess the statistical relationship between them with no influence from any extraneous variable. Our mind can do some brilliant things.
