New cards

key features of correlational/observational design

  • no manipulation, only dependent variables

  • type of claim (association claim between variables)

  • hypothesis (must specify directionality)


2
New cards

reminder: ways to measure variables

  • self-report

  • observation

  • physiology


3
New cards

reminder: 3 requirements for inferring causality

  • temporal precedence

  • covariation

  • ruling out alternatives


4
New cards

quasi-experiment/nonequivalent groups

  • no random assignment

  • assigned by teachers, regulators, nature

  • tends to have more purposeful group samplings

why quasi experiment?

  • ethics - balancing real-world practical or ethical necessity with the scientific and moral challenges of lacking random assignment

  • feasibility - doable and practical alternatives to true experiments when random assignment is unethical, impossible, or too costly

  • external validity - quasi experiments have high external validity because they study real-world groups in natural settings
