Study Notes
Research Design: Goals and Types
- The primary goal of experimental design is to establish causality between variables.
- Participants are usually randomly assigned to different groups in an experimental research design.
Quasi-Experimental Design vs. Experimental Design
- The key difference between quasi-experimental design and experimental design is that participants are not randomly assigned to groups in quasi-experimental design.
Correlational Design
- Correlational design measures the relationship between two variables without establishing causality.
Experimental Design vs. Correlational Design
- The main difference between experimental design and correlational design is that experimental design establishes causality, whereas correlational design does not.
