Experimental Flashcards
often called true or randomized experimental research, uses the scientific method to establish the cause-effect relationship among a group of variables that make up a study.
Experimental research
The true experiment is often thought of as a laboratory study, but this is not always the case; a laboratory setting has nothing to do with it.
Experimental research
A true experiment is any study where an effort is made to identify and impose control over all other variables except one.
Experimental research
An independent variable is manipulated to determine the effects on the dependent variables.
Experimental research
Subjects are assigned randomly to experimental treatments rather than identified in naturally occurring groups.
Experimental research
attempts to establish cause-effect relationships among the variables.
Quasi Experimental Research/ Causal
Comparative Research
This type is very similar to true experiments, but with some key differences.
Quasi Experimental Research/ Causal
Comparative Research
An independent variable is identified but not manipulated by the experimenter, and the effects of the independent variable on the dependent variable are measured.
Quasi Experimental Research/ Causal
Comparative Research
The researcher does not randomly assign groups and must use subjects that are naturally formed or pre existing groups.
Quasi Experimental Research/ Causal
Comparative Research
Identified control groups exposed to the treatment variable are studied and compared to groups who are not.
