Quasi-Experimental Designs
Multiple Choice

1 .       What distinguishes a non-equivalent control group design from a before-after experimental design?  



2 .       Assume a researcher designates one class of children to be the experimental group and another class the control group. Both groups are given a pre- and posttest and the experimental group is given the treatment condition between pre- and posttesting. The researcher would be using a  



3 .       An experimenter has selected two groups for quasi-experimental design. The control group had a beer at Al’s Pub & Pizza between pre and posttesting and perform quite poorly at posttest. This is an example of  



4 .       A researcher finds that his experimental group, who scored significantly lower than the control group at pretest, now scores significantly higher following the experimental treatment. This has most likely resulted from  



5 .       An experimental design in which the researcher examines the patterns of pre and post responses is called a  



6 .       The effect of the treatment condition in the time series design is noted by  



7 .       The nonequivalent control group design is an example of a _______ design.  



8 .       A situation in which both the control and experimental groups show an increment in the dependent variable from pre to posttesting as a possible result of a selection-maturation bias is  



9 .       The _________ renders many rival hypothesis implausible.  



10 .       Quasi experimental designs should be used when
