Non- & Quasi Designs
• Experimentation involves
the manipulation of an IV
and measurement of its
effect on the DV
• Sometimes, however, the
researcher is not able to
manipulate an IV and must
therefore work with pre-
existing levels of the IV
• e.g., age, gender

Non- & Quasi Designs
• In both non- and quasi-experimental designs, there is
no manipulation of the IV
• Researchers compare pre-existing groups on a DV of
interest
• Groups are defined by time or participant
characteristics
• e.g., college grad or not; age
• Both produce groups of scores to be compared for
significant differences
• No random assignment, no causality
• Groups can differ!
