    Quantitative Review 2

    Uploaded by

    Quasi-experimental research involves studying the effect of a treatment or intervention on subjects without randomly assigning them to control and experimental groups. This limits the researcher's ability to draw causal conclusions compared to a true experiment. Quasi-experiments approximate experimental rigor while acknowledging some variables cannot be controlled. They are used when random assignment is not possible or practical and aim to strengthen internal validity by ensuring comparable groups before introduction of the independent variable. Common applications include program evaluation, natural experiments, pre-test/post-test designs, and interrupted time series designs.
