1. Nonexperimental research is research that lacks the manipulation of an independent variable, random assignment of participants to conditions or orders of conditions, or both.
2. Experimental research is appropriate when the researcher has a specific research question or hypothesis about a causal relationship between two variables
2.1. The research question or hypothesis can be about a single variable rather than a statistical relationship between two variables
2.2. The research question can be about a noncausal statistical relationship between variables
2.3. Created by: Victor Villalva
3. Research can also be nonexperimental because it focuses on a statistical relationship between two variables but does not include the manipulation of an independent variable, random assignment of participants to conditions or orders of conditions, or both.
4. ''Randomization'' In research, the process by which participants in clinical trials are assigned by chance to separate groups that are given different treatments or other interventions. Neither the researcher nor the participant chooses which treatment or intervention the participant will receive.
5. If you don’t have enough data to support your decisions, you must first determine the facts. Experimental research gathers the data necessary to help you make better decisions.
6. Time is a vital factor in establishing a relationship between cause and effect.
7. Invariable behavior between cause and effect.
8. You wish to understand the importance of the cause and effect.
9. Experimental research is research conducted with a scientific approach using two sets of variables. The first set acts as a constant, which you use to measure the differences of the second set.
10. Quantitative research is defined as a systematic investigation of phenomena by gathering quantifiable data and performing statistical, mathematical, or computational techniques
