in this lecture podcast, I walk through a concrete research question using the correlational method.  The correlational coefficient statistical score is explained, and hopefully you'll be able to make sense of that number.  Advantages and disadvantages discussed.  The same research question example is used in the podcast "Psychology Experiments Explained" so you can compare the two methods.  Get some popcorn, a cold drink and enjoy this 20 minute podcast!

This is the 1st of my "Here and Now" current events podcasts, relating our covid19 pandemic experience with psychological concepts. With this kind of podcast, I make clear that I'm not a virologist, but am speculating how randomized testing will work, based on what we know about the experimental research method.
