Which of the following is an advantage of using quasi-experimental designs?
A)They allow researchers to capitalize on random assignment.
B)They allow researchers to enhance external validity.
C)They allow researchers to disregard internal validity.
D)They are better suited to detect significant effects.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Quasi-experimental designs allow researchers to enhance external validity by using real-world settings and populations, while still controlling for some confounding variables. However, they do not involve random assignment and may have lower internal validity compared to true experimental designs. Quasi-experimental designs may or may not be better suited to detect significant effects, depending on various factors such as sample size, effect size, power, and measurement validity. Therefore, option A, C, and D are incorrect or incomplete.
