12.2 Quasi-Experimental Designs 1)A major difficulty with drawing causal inferences in the field is A)the inability to obtain reliable measures. B)the inability to randomly assign participants. C)noncompliance of political leaders. D)laboratory equipment seems out of place in natural settings. 2)Quasi-experimental designs are A)superior to experimental designs. B)similar to experimental designs but are not quite equal to them. C)often used in physics and chemistry. D)equal to experimental designs. 3)The use of quasi-experimental designs is recommended A)only in situations in which full experimental controls can be used. B)in situations in which there is no causal question to be addressed. C)in situations in which full experimental controls cannot be employed, but where it is important to address a causal question. D)only in laboratory settings. 4)Quasi-experimental designs are different from low-constraint methods in that A)quasi-experimental methods attempt to answer questions of causality. B)low-constraint methods attempt to answer questions of causality. C)unlike low-constraint methods, quasi-experiments always directly manipulate the independent variable. D)unlike low-constraint methods, quasi-experiments usually assign participants randomly to groups. 5)What term is used for designs that are like experimental designs but NOT quite equal to them and from which we can still draw causal inferences? A)Correlational designs. B)Differential designs. C)Quasi-experimental designs. D)Naturalistic-experimental designs. 6)Which of the following statements do NOT describe quasi-experimental designs? A)They are like experimental design but are not quite equal to them. B)They have a causal hypothesis. C)They have only one level of the independent variable. D)They have some type of manipulation in order to compare two or more conditions. 7)How are quasi-experimental designs different from low-constraint methods? A)Quasi-experiments have only one level of the independent variable. B)Low-constraint methods do not attempt to answer questions of causality. C)Low-constraint methods try to control confounding variables. D)Quasi-experiments take place in a laboratory. 8)Using quasi-experiments to draw causal inferences in field experiments A)may give us less than high confidence but will still give us more information than not experimenting at all. B)is more costly and more time consuming than answering the same question in the laboratory. C)is based on new statistical procedures. D)is a foolhardy undertaking. 9)Quasi-experimental designs attempt to answer A)questions of causality. B)low-constraint questions. C)manipulated events questions. D)laboratory manipulation questions. 10)Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of quasi-experimental designs? A)Causal hypotheses are stated. B)The participants are usually assigned to groups in an unbiased manner. C)At least two levels of the independent variable are included. D)Unlike low-constraint methods, quasi-experiments usually assign participants to groups. Â
