Research Method Features 
Experimental  Method          
  • This method studies the cause and effect relationship between two variables.
  • The experimenter manipulates one or more independent variables and measure their effect on dependent variables.
Ex post-Facto Method           
  • An ex-post-facto the researcher attempts to trace an effect that has already occurred to its probable causes. 
  • The researcher has no direct control over the independent variable because it has occurred much prior to producing its effects.
Historical Method
  • Historical research studies the meaning & causes of past events to interpret the facts and their effect on one another or on present events. 
  • It is similar to ex-post-facto, as the researcher relies on the data from the past and can't manipulate it. 
  • Data is collected through primary sources (official documents, personal records, eyewitnesses) and secondary sources (newspaper, information from people who didn't witness the event).
Ethnographic Method           
  • The process to study and describe a culture (shared attitudes, values, norms, the language of a group of people) in detail.
  • Data is collected through observation or the researcher may go and live in that specific community.
