Review of Experimental Designs Flashcards
True Experimental Design
IV “Manipulated” by researcher
At least two comparison groups
Subjects randomly assigned
Quasi-Experimental Design
May lack randomization
May lack comparison group
May lack both
Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design
Both groups are measured before and after treatment
Differences between the groups can be attributed to the treatment
Cause and effect (AKA, causation, casual relationship)
Posttest-Only Control Group Design
Similar to pretest-posttest control group design except no pretest is administered to either group
Repeated Measures
Same people in each level of the independent variable
Single Factor (One-Way) Repeated Measures Design
There is no control group - subjects act as their own controls
