  2. Quasi-experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasi-experiment

    A quasi-experiment is an empirical study used to estimate the causal impact of an intervention. Quasi-experiments shares similarities with experiments or randomized controlled trials, but specifically lack random assignment to treatment or control. Instead, quasi-experimental designs typically allow assignment to treatment condition to proceed ...

    For example: Ψ = Psychology Ψist = Psychologist. Ψ, in biological terms, is a symbol used to represent water potential. Ψ, in astrology, is the symbol that represents Neptune.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N_of_1_trial

    Quasi experiment means that causality cannot be definitively demonstrated. Experiment means that it can be demonstrated. Plot of a synthetic dataset from an A-A 1-A N-of-1 trial: During day 1-30, day 61-90, and day 121-150, the participant is taking a drug developed to treat high blood pressure. They are taking a placebo in the remaining time.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regression_discontinuity...

    In statistics, econometrics, political science, epidemiology, and related disciplines, a regression discontinuity design (RDD) is a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design that aims to determine the causal effects of interventions by assigning a cutoff or threshold above or below which an intervention is assigned.

    For this reason, many experiments in psychology are conducted in laboratory conditions where they can be more strictly regulated. Alternatively, some experiments are less controlled. Quasi-experiment's are those that a researcher sets up in a controlled environment, but does not control the independent variable. For example, Michael R ...

  7. List of psychological research methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_psychological...

    Quantitative psychological research findings result from mathematical modeling and statistical estimation or statistical inference. The two types of research differ in the methods employed, rather than the topics they focus on. There are three main types of psychological research: Correlational research; Descriptive research; Experimental research

  8. Repeated measures design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeated_measures_design

    For example, experiments in which each condition takes only a few minutes, whereas the training to complete the tasks take as much, if not more time. Longitudinal analysis—Repeated measure designs allow researchers to monitor how participants change over time, both long- and short-term situations.

  9. Blocking (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blocking_(statistics)

    In the examples listed above, a nuisance variable is a variable that is not the primary focus of the study but can affect the outcomes of the experiment. [3] They are considered potential sources of variability that, if not controlled or accounted for, may confound the interpretation between the independent and dependent variables .
