Experimental And Non-Experimental

Experimental And Non-Experimental

Well, by now your level of knowledge and application of Research should make you feel pretty good about the topic...and lead us to ask if we can change our thinking in order to really examine an issue and seek out the truth of a matter or question.   How likely is it the stories we find in those tabloids about us humans being from outer space at the grocery story in the check out line are true.  Of course Research will explain the answer. 

You are making great strides in our studies and by now you know how research can be very exciting and interesting.  Who knows, you may be thinking about a career in Research...

Okay, let's jump into this weeks work:    

For this weeks assignment, there will be two (2) parts.   

Part 1-Please find an example of correlational research which is considered non experimental then briefly discuss the findings.  Simply stated what is it and how does it work...do you think it is an important concept...why?

Be sure to indicate that the findings do not infer causation.

Part 2-Please locate an example of either an experimental study or a quasi-experimental study in your field of interest.

Next, provide a brief overview of the study, the full citation reference, and explain what are the factors that made it experimental or quasi-experimental.  Simple explanation.
