A Correlation is the relationship between two variables whenever there's a change or co-occurrence in a pattern. This type of research compares statistical relationship among two variables. It is a type of non-experimental because it does not manipulate the independent variable. Correlation is very useful in conducting research between the test scores and the measures of performance.
