Which statement accurately reflects a characteristic of natural experiments? A) They can easily manipulate independent variables B) They are typically cost-effective and quick C) They provide high control over extraneous variables D) Participants may be unaware that they are involved in an experiment
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for a statement that correctly describes a feature of natural experiments, seeking to identify which of the options provided holds true regarding their characteristics.

More Information
In natural experiments, researchers do not have the means to control all variables, and participants are often not told that they are part of an experiment, making it naturalistic.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing natural experiments with controlled experiments, which are able to manipulate variables and control the environment more effectively.
