Document Summary
The one-shot case study: a single group of subjects is exposed to an experimental treatment, the dependent variable is measured among all subjects (posttest) The one-group pretest-posttest design: the dependent variable is measured among all subjects (pretest, all subjects are exposed to an experimental treatment, the dependent variable is measured among all subjects (posttest) The static group comparison: some subjects are exposed to an experimental condition (the treatment group) while others are not (control group, the dependent variable is measured among all subjects (posttest of both groups) Matching: decide what variable might be associated with the dependent variable. Identify subjects who resemble one another on each of these variables. 2: randomly assign subjects who resemble one another to treatment and control groups. Internal valid experiments rules out the possibility that extraneous variables (rather than the manipulated independent variable) are responsible for the observed outcome. 4: experimental mortality, diffusion or imitation of treatments, experimenter effects, hawthorne effect.
