There is several different research methods used in psychology. These fall into two areas: quantitative, which depends upon the use of mathematical or statistical data, and qualitative. Within these two divisions are several kinds of research including correlational, descriptive and experimental. Which type of research is utilized depends upon the goals of the research, while it depends on Case Study, Experiment, Observational Study, Survey and Content Analysis.
