[PSYFLDM] Quantitative Research Design

What type of research design is used when a researcher randomly assigns participants to groups and manipulates an independent variable?

• Non-experimental

• Experimental

• Correlational

• Cross-sectional

In a within-subjects design, participants:

• Are exposed to all levels of the independent variable

• Are assigned to only one condition

• Are not exposed to any variables

• Are placed in different groups randomly

A between-subjects design is characterized by:

• Participants experiencing all conditions of the experiment

• Participants being assigned to different groups for each condition

• No independent variable manipulation

• Cross-sectional measurement

Which of the following is a type of non-experimental design?

• Repeated measures

• Correlational design

• Experimental design

• Quasi-experimental design

Quasi-experimental research differs from experimental research because:

• It does not manipulate variables

• It does not randomly assign participants to conditions

• It does not include any independent variables

• It cannot examine causal relationships

Survey research is primarily used to:

• Manipulate variables

• Measure cause and effect

• Provide a numerical description of trends, attitudes, or opinions

• Test the effectiveness of treatments

Cross-sectional research involves:

• Data collection at one point in time

• Studying the same participants over time

• Manipulating independent variables

• Collecting data from multiple points in time

Longitudinal research refers to:

• Survey research done in one session

• Research conducted over an extended period of time with the same participants

• Assigning participants to different groups

• Non-experimental design

A cohort study follows a group of individuals:

• For one day

• In different conditions

• Over an extended period of time

• Using non-random samples

Which type of research is typically used to study the relationship between variables without implying causation?

• Experimental

• Quasi-experimental

• Correlational

• Longitudinal
