Briefly describe psychology’s 3 major research methods. Which research method would be best to use to determine if there is a connection between violence in the media and an increase in violent crime? Discuss some of the problems proving violence in the media actually causes an increase in violent crime.

If someone could help it would mean a lot ;)

The three main types of psychological research are Correlational research. Descriptive research. Experimental research. Social psychologists use correlational research to look for relationships between variables. For example, social psychologists might carry out a correlational study looking at the relationship between media violence and aggression. In the media violence is normalized often making people not as sensitive to it anymore and this might cause them to become for violent.
