What is the biggest limitation a researcher faces when using a correlational design?
The biggest limitation a researcher faces when using a correlational design is that correlational design is used to measure the relationship between two variable, and does not provide the researcher with cause and effect relationship. Unlike the experimental design, where the researcher can pinpoint a cause and its effect, and there is an independent and dependent variable, the correlational design only can measure the level of relationship between variable. Correlation between variable does not imply causation. There could be a common cause or unknown cause because of which there may be a relationship between variable in the correlational method.
