What is the principal disadvantage of the descriptive and correlational research methods?

◦ Because of practical or ethical reasons, they cannot be used to study some research questions.
◦ They do not allow the researcher to describe behaviour.
◦ They frequently observe behaviour in artificial situations.
◦ Because researchers cannot control variables of interest, conclusions concerning cause-and-effect relationships are not appropriate.
