Nonexperimental research

• IV can be manipulated, a cause-and-effect relationship can be found & participants can be randomly allocated

• IV can't be manipulated, a cause-and-effect relationship cannot be found & participants can't be randomly allocated

• IV can be manipulated, but participants can't be randomly allocated

• IV can't be manipulated, but a cause-and-effect relationship can be found

Directional hypothesis

• A statement that predicts no difference between conditions

• A statement comparing the predicted outcome of each condition

Longitudinal study
