Which of the following is a difference between true experiments and quasi-experiments?

Which of the following is an independent-groups quasi-experimental design?

Which of the following designs has elements of both a within-group design and an independent-groups design?

The degree to which a quasiexperiment supports a causal claim depends on which of the following:

If Dr. Fletcher is interested in a causal relationship between joining a fraternity/sorority and attractiveness/appearance concern, why doesn't he conduct a true experiment?

In addition to measuring the group of participants who joined a fraternity/sorority, Dr. Fletcher decides to give the same measure to another group of 55 participants who decided to not join a fraternity/sorority. Doing this would help Dr. Fletcher address all of the following threats to internal validity EXCEPT:

Which of the following is NOT an advantage of using quasi-experimental designs?

Why do quasi-experiments tend to have very good construct validity for the independent variable?

n which of the following ways are correlational designs similar to quasi-experimental designs?

Which of the following is true of the difference between large-N experiments and small-N experiments?

Seeing stability in a stable-baseline design can help rule out which of the following threats to internal validity?

What type of small-N design has Dr. Anderson used with W. J.?

Dr. Natchez, a colleague of Dr. Anderson, questions whether W. J. simply wrote down less in his journal as the study went on because he grew tired of completing this "measure." Dr. Natchez believes he has uncovered which of the following threats to internal validity?

In interrogating the construct validity of Dr. Anderson's study, which of the following might be asked?

If a researcher is concerned about external validity, which of the following would you recommend with regard to conducting small-N designs?

According to the textbook, which of the following ethical questions might be posed specifically in reference to a reversal design?

Which of the following topics would NOT be especially well-suited to a quasi-experimental design?

The fact that the researcher does not have experimental control over the independent variable and does not randomly assign participants to conditions in a quasi-experimental design will result in which of the following?

Which of the following people would be of most interest for a small-N design?

In conducting quasi-experimental designs, researchers tend to give up some ________ in exchange for ________.
