Answer 1

Answer:

b. experiments can show cause-effect relationships

Explanation:

Psychologists generally prefer the experimental method to other research methods because experiments can show cause-effect relationships. Experiments constitute independent variables, and varied subject conditions in control groups that are manipulated by a scientist to find out disparities that exist and therefore establish cause and effect relationships between variables. Other research methods do not allow for control such as this.
