Read the research scenario below and then answer the question.Research Scenario: A sociologist is interested in whether participation in extracurricular clubs improves students’ academic performance. They begin with a theory that argues that increased social integration in school leads to higher academic achievement. From this theory, the researcher develops the following hypothesis: Students who participate in two or more extracurricular clubs will have higher GPAs than students who do not participate in any clubs. To test this, the researcher collects survey data from 300 undergraduates, asking about the number of clubs they belong to and obtaining permission to access their GPAs. They then use statistical analysis to see if the hypothesis is supported.Goals of Research (10 points; Suggested time: 10 minutes)Would the study discussed above be explanatory, exploratory, descriptive, or evaluation research? Explain your reasoning based on knowledge from the course textbook or lecture notes. Include citations with page numbers.
