Scientific method: a systematic way of accumulating and organizing knowledge through observation, experimentation, verification, and the evaluation of hypotheses. Case studies based on individuals or small groups to obtain in-depth information, usually used for understudied or rare disorders or ideas. Observational studies observing without manipulation to gain insight. Correlational studies examine the relationship between two variables without manipulating either variable. Experimental designs control/manipulate the independent variable (iv) and how this influences the dependent variable (dv) viewed as the gold standard of research.
