What is the meaning of descriptive research method?

Descriptive rearch methods are those that are meant to illustrate a point about the sample population. For example, if you wanted to know how many college students binge drink, you could do a simple random sample style survey that asks college students how much they drink. You could then develop a level that is considered binge drinking. By not doing any further analysis on the topic (you are not trying to figure out if binge drinking is related to gpa) you are only describing the data collected using your research method and therefore conducting descriptive research.
