Answer to Question 1

A study that looked at victims of child sexual abuse would benefit from qualitative study. Qualitative methods, such as the use of examples or stories, may be particularly engaging to children and enable the discussion of sensitive topics, while allowing the children a sense of control over the research situation.

Answer to Question 2

In a true experiment the researcher has maximum control over the independent variable or conditions of interest and can use random assignment of subjects to groups, include needed control conditions, and control possible sources of bias. In correlational studies, researchers often examine relationships among variables by using a correlation coefficient, a number that describes the degree of association between two variables.
