Hmm.... correlational research requires less work, but you cannot infer causation. Experimental research allows you to randomly assign subjects, which usually improves the validity and generalizability of the research.

Reply:Case study, correlation, experiment? Uh, maybe you should have more than one sample. I propose the 3 main methods are objective testing like the MMPI, subjective testing like the Rorsach, and a well designed experiment that has nothing to do with Vitamin J.
