Question

Identify each research strategy being used in the following table.

Brittney is interested in the relationship between caloric intake and emotional arousal. She creates a carefully measured array of attractive snack foods. Brittney allows participants to eat as much of various snacks as they want while completing a written measure of emotional arousal. She then calculates the calories they consumed based on the amount of food that is left and looks at the relationship between the amount of calories each participant consumed and his or her emotional arousal score.

Answer 1

The research strategy is correlational

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

In Britneys case the two variables she tjinks has a correlation is the relationship between caloric intake and emotional arousal. Brittney allows participants to eat as much of various snacks as they want while completing a written measure of emotional arousal

Answer 2

The research strategy being used is: correlational.

Step-by-step explanation:

A correalational reaserch strategy is used when wanting to analyze the relationship beteen two variables, to see how each one influence one another.

In this case Brittney is analyzing the relationship between caloric intake and emotional arousal. Using this type of strategy she can answer: how strong this variables influence one anonther, if they go in a positive correlation (they change in the same direction), if they have a negative correlation (they change in different directions), and also if the influence is linear o not.
