The nonequivalent control group design is a type of quasi-experimental design in which participants are not randomly assigned to conditions. In this design, members of one group are assigned to the experimental condition and members of a similar group are assigned to the control condition, but the groups are not equivalent or matched on relevant variables. This design is commonly used when random assignment is not possible or feasible, such as in educational or organizational settings. The other options (natural experiment, patched-up quasi experiment, and control series design) do not describe this specific type of design.
