MAIN DISCUSSION POST: Due by Sunday

• Paragraph 1: Briefly describe correlational research. (Research is required)
• Paragraph 2: Select a variable from the study used in this course and one from the workplace that might prove to provide a correlational relationship. Explain why you would choose these two?
• Paragraph 3: How would the results of this survey be used in the workplace?

This post must be 3 paragraphs in length. Since you are doing research, there must be citations in the body of the post and a reference list at the end. The goal is to apply learned concepts in order to show your understanding. You should steer away from quotations; they do not showcase your knowledge.
