Study Notes
Research Design Types
- Experimental Design: A research method based on experiments. Researchers manipulate variables to determine if hypotheses are valid. The experimental group receives the treatment, while the control group does not. This involves a pre-test for both groups and a post-test for the experimental group to measure treatment effects.
- Experimental Group: Receives the treatment or manipulation.
- Control Group: Does not receive any treatment.
- Pre-test and Post-test: Both groups receive a pre-test. The experimental group receives a post-test to assess treatment effects.
- Types of Experimental Designs:
- True Experimental Design: Uses random participant selection to minimize bias and accurately identify causal relationships.
- Quasi-Experimental Design: Selects participants purposefully, which might introduce bias and make it harder to establish cause-and-effect relationships.
Non-Experimental Design
- Non-Experimental Design: Focuses on observing and gathering data on variables as they exist naturally without manipulation, often producing both qualitative and quantitative data, particularly in social sciences.
- Data Focus: Primarily used to gather qualitative data, but also collects quantitative data. It's frequently used in social science research.
- Types of Non-Experimental Designs:
- Descriptive: Provides a picture or profile of an individual or group.
- Comparative: Highlights differences or similarities among individuals, groups, or other phenomena.
- Correlative: Demonstrates the relationship between variables (positive or negative).
- Survey: Investigates the behaviors, preferences, opinions, and other characteristics of large populations.
- Ex Post Facto: Analyzes existing data from past events, without manipulation to explain past events. Literally translated from Latin means "after the fact."
