Experimental Research Questions
Experimental research designs involve the manipulation of variables and the random assignment of participants to different conditions or groups. This allows researchers to establish cause-and-effect relationships between variables. Non-experimental research designs, on the other hand, do not involve manipulation or random assignment. Instead, they focus on observing and describing relationships between variables as they naturally occur. While experimental designs provide stronger evidence for causal relationships, non-experimental designs are often used when it is not feasible or ethical to manipulate variables.
