A cognitive psychologist is investigating whether auditory stimulation can help manage situational anxiety. Specifically, they want to explore if there is a relationship between the average daily duration of listening to low-frequency binaural beats (measured in minutes) and self-reported performance anxiety scores prior to public presentations (measured on a validated scale from 1 to 50). The psychologist decides to use a correlational design for this research.
Describe one strength of using a correlational design in this study.
