Answer
The core difference between experimental and non-experimental research methods lies in the researcher's level of control over the variables. Experimental methods manipulate an independent variable to observe its effect on a dependent variable, allowing for causal inferences. Non-experimental methods observe and measure variables without manipulation, making causal conclusions impossible. Instead, they focus on identifying correlations or relationships between variables.
