Q

What is random selection and random assignment? What validity is each?

Random selection – how you draw the sample of people for your study from the population as a whole. External validity (generalizability) of results i.e. it reflects how representative your sample is of the population it has been drawn.

Random assignment – how you assign the sample to different groups or treatments in your study. Internal validity (design of study), ensuring experimental groups are equivalent prior to the treatment.
