Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Quasi-experimental designs are often used when there are pre-existing groups that cannot be randomly assigned (such as different cultures or genders), making it a suitable approach for investigating differences between groups of people. Longitudinal studies look at changes within individuals over time, while cross-sequential studies combine cross-sectional and longitudinal designs. Correlational studies investigate relationships between variables, but do not specifically compare groups of people.
