Explanation
Basic research tests or expands theory, correlational research checks whether variables co-vary, case study is in-depth study of few individuals, and longitudinal study observes a group over time.
Basic research pairs with testing or expanding theory, its defining aim.
Correlational research pairs with discovering whether variables co-vary.
Case study pairs with the in-depth study of one or a few individuals.
Longitudinal study pairs with observing and measuring a group over time.
Basic research seeks knowledge for its own sake, unlike applied research.
