The variable that social scientists refer to as the causal variable is the one that is believed to directly influence or cause changes in another variable. This variable is often the focus of research and analysis to understand its impact on the outcome of interest.


Which type of research method is used to show cause and effect that one variable causes change in another variable?

The experimental research method is typically used to show cause and effect between variables, where one variable is manipulated to observe the effect on another variable. This method involves randomly assigning participants to different conditions and controlling for extraneous variables to establish a causal relationship.


Which research method assesses how well one variable predicts another without specifying a cause and effect relationship between the variables?

Correlational research method assesses the relationship between two variables without implying causation. It examines how changes in one variable are associated with changes in another variable.
