Question

1.When conducting quasi experiments, researchers are forced to give up

a. full experimental control

b.real-world applicability

c. traditional ethical standards

d. statistical validity

2.

In a small-N design,

a.Participants are grouped together in small groups.

b.Data are presented as group averages.

c.Participants are not required to give consent.

d.Each participant is treated as a separate experiment.

Answer 1

1.a. full experimental control

A quasi-experiment refers to an empirical study that seeks to estimate the causal impact of an intervention on its target population. In quasi-experiment participants, are not assigned randomly whereas, in a true experiment, participants are randomly assigned to either the treatment or the control group.

2.d.Each participant is treated as a separate experiment.

In a small-N design, one or only a few subjects are tested. It is mandatory that the participants are not put into groups but are treated as separate experiments. Experiments are long, that allows the performance to stabilize over time. The data gathered after the experiment is analyzed visually with the minimal use of inferential stats.
