Answer to Question 1

A negative correlation between depression and self-esteem indicates that those who are more depressed tend to also be those with lower self-esteem, whereas those who are less depressed tend to be those with higher self-esteem. It does not indicate that depression causes problems with self-esteem or that low self-esteem causes depression.

Answer to Question 2

An example of basic research would be studying how the human memory system works simply because one is interested in this topic. An example of applied research would be studying how Alzheimer's disease affects memory in an attempt to help those with the disease.
