Explanation

Basic research tests or expands theory, correlational research checks whether variables covary, case study is an in-depth study of one or a few, and longitudinal study observes a group over time.

Basic research pairs with testing or expanding theory, since it seeks knowledge and theoretical advance.

Correlational research pairs with discovering whether variables covary, measuring how they move together.

Case study pairs with the in-depth study of a single or a few individuals to see how change affects behaviour.

Longitudinal study pairs with observing and measuring a group of participants over time.

Correlation shows association only and does not by itself prove causation.
