Define Interviews
Define Experiments
have one clear independent and dependent variable with all other factors being controlled as far as possible— there may only be two conditions for independent variable: one is the control, and the other is the test condition
Define Field Experiments
researcher manipulates independent variables but conducts experiment in a real-life environment; extraneous variables cannot be controlled
Define Quasi-experiments
participants are grouped based on a characterstic of interest, otherwise still ran as an experiment
Define Natural Experiments
researchers find naturally occurring variables and study them
Define Correlation Research
study with focus on two variables, however they are not dependent/independent variables— instead hypothesis is based on co-variables not cause and effect
