Quantitative Research Experiments Quiz

What is a true experiment in quantitative research?

• A study conducted in a natural setting without manipulation of variables.

• A type of research where the researcher manipulates one or more independent variables and controls for extraneous variables.

• An in-depth examination of an individual, group, event, or situation.

• A study that examines the relationship between two or more variables without manipulating them.

Which type of experiment is conducted in a natural setting rather than in a laboratory?

• True Experiment

• Quasi-Experiment

• Field Experiment

• Case Study

What is a quasi-experiment?

• A study that examines the relationship between two or more variables without manipulating them.

• An experiment involving the manipulation of an independent variable without random assignment of participants to conditions.

• An in-depth examination of an individual, group, event, or situation.

• A study conducted in a natural setting rather than in a laboratory.

In which type of experiment does the independent variable change naturally or due to external factors?

What is the goal of a correlational study?

• To manipulate one or more independent variables and control for extraneous variables.

• To examine the relationship between two or more variables without manipulating them.

• To conduct research in a natural setting rather than in a laboratory.

• To provide detailed insights through an in-depth examination of an individual, group, event, or situation.

What does a case study involve?

• Manipulating one or more independent variables and controlling for extraneous variables.

• Conducting research in a natural setting rather than in a laboratory.
