Given below are two statements

Statement I: Exploratory research is conducted for data indications.

Statement II: The goal of exploratory research is to gather final data to find out causality.

In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below 

Key Points

Statement I: Exploratory research is conducted for data indications.

Exploratory research 

• It is a methodological approach that investigates research questions that have not previously been studied in depth.
• It is often used when the issue the researcher is studying is new or when the data collection process is challenging for some reason.
• It is used when you have a general idea or a specific question that the researcher wants to study but there is no preexisting knowledge or paradigm with which to study it.
• Therefore Exploratory research is conducted for data indications.

Hence Statement I is true.

Statement II: The goal of exploratory research is to gather final data to find out causality.

Causal research

• Causal research, is the investigation of (research into) cause-relationships.
• To determine causality, variation in the variable presumed to influence the difference in another variable(s) must be detected, and then the variations from the other variable(s) must be calculated (s).
• The objective of causal research is to test hypotheses about cause-and-effect relationships.
• This would occur when there is a change in one of the independent variables, which is causing changes in the dependent variable.
• Thus casual research is used to gather final data to find out causality.

Hence Statement II is False.

Therefore we can conclude that Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
