Case study (studying one person in detail or studying special observations: correlational: attempt to identify a systematic relationship between two variables, experimental: identifying relationships and drawing causal conclusions. Quasi-experimental: when you have two variables and you cannot really manipulate them in real life, you need to study them as they are. Ex: studying kids who have adhd and kids who don"t (you cannot create it, or manipulate it look at relationship of two grouped observations) but, lose capacity to claim cause-effect)
