Correlational And Causal Comparison Designs

Correlational And Causal Comparison Designs

For this assignment, review three peer-reviewed articles relating to technology that employed a non-experimental design (e.g., correlation and/or causal-comparative). In a paper, report your answers to the following questions for each article (address all components for each article before moving on to the next article):

• What was the research problem?

• What variables were analyzed, and what were the hypotheses tested?

• What types of statistical analyses were used?

• Which, if any, of the general strengths and weaknesses of non-experimental designs did the study demonstrate? Are there any threats to validity? Explain.

• Evaluate the quality of the research study

o Was a non-experimental design the most appropriate design and why or why not?

o How credible are the conclusions of the study?
