One-shot Case Study

A

Cause-effect study. Notation: X O. Remark: no comparisons possible

40
Q

One-group Pretest-posttest

A

Investigate influence of a variable. Notation: O X O. Remark: no control for extraneous variables

41
Q

Static group

A

Comparing a treatment with a control group. Notation:
EG: X O1
CG: O2
Remark: there can be a difference in the EG and CG

42
Q

Pretest-posttest control group

A

Controls for confounds (variables that threaten internal validity). Notation:
EG: R 01 X O2
CG: R O3 O4

43
Q

Posttest-only control group

A

When pre-tests are nog possible. Notation:
EG: R X O1
CG: R O2
More simple than pretest posttest control group. Mortality effects possible

44
Q

Solomon Four Group

A

Minimize effects of pre-testing. Notation:
EG1: R O1 X O2
CG1: R O3 O4
EG2: R X O5
CG2: R O6
Strongest form of experimental control. Takes testing effects into account.

45
Q

A

When one group is available, and little control over manipulation and participants.
Notation: O1 O2 O3 X O4 O5
Sensitive for history and re-test effects

46
Q

Multiple time series

A
Time series with control group
Notation:
EG: O1 O2 O3 X O4 O5
CG: O7 O8 O9
Different tests are possible (pre vs post, EG vs CG).
