Stats and Research methods go hand in hand. The design of an experiment will determine the statistical procedure used (or sometimes vice versa). For example, a yes/no questionnaire elicits categorical data, and techniques such as chi-square or Wilcoxon should be used.

There are many factors: number of independent and dependent variables, whether you used repeated measures, whether the subjects are related, presence of a control group... the list goes on.
