Experimental and Quasi-Experimental Designs Chapters 9 10 Research Design It is the outline, plan, or strategy for the procedures you will use to address your research question. Research Designs – What are some limitations of these? One-group after design Treatment Response measure One-group before-after design Response Measure 1 Treatment Compare Response Measure 2 Research Designs – What are some limitation of these? What are the requirements of true research designs? Requirements of True Research Design Design is adequate to answer the research question (i.e., test the hypothesis). Control for extraneous variables Results are generalizable. Why Pre-testing Your Participants Increased sensitivity of the study Ceiling effect Initial position Initial comparability Evidence of change What are the limitations of this design? Factorial Design Two or more independent variables are studied in order to determine their independent and interactive effects on the dependent variable. Interaction Effect The effect of one factor (independent variable) depends on the level of the other factor (other independent variable). Main Effects Interactions Advantages of Factorial Designs More than one hypothesis can be tested. Potentially confounding variables can be built into the design as factors. Enables interaction effects to be tested. Within Participant After-Only Design Same research participants in all experimental treatment conditions. Repeated measures design. Overcomes concerns about creating equivalence between groups. Requires fewer participants. Most serious limitation is the confounding influence of a sequence effect. Combining Within and Between Participant Designs Factorial design based on a mixed model. Can include as many independent variables as is necessary. Combining Within and Between Participant Designs Factorial Design Main Interaction Effects Selecting the Appropriate Design The design must be one that addresses your research question. What control
