Question

You are working on a research project in which you manipulate the independent variable but random assignment of participants is not possible. Your research is best described as _____.

Answer 1

If you are allowed to manipulate the independent variable but cannot randomly assign participants, this is Quasi-experimental.

What is quasi-experimental research?

• There isn't complete freedom to manipulate independent variables.
• This is in contrast to experimental that allows for total control of the independent variable.

In this scenario, you have some control over the independent variable as you can manipulate it but you cannot randomly assign participants so you don't have total freedom.

In conclusion, this is quasi experimental.
