Non-experimental research design

Non-experimental Research Designs

- a non-experimental research design meets 1, maybe 2 of the criteria for causality (empirical association, temporal order, and non spuriousness), depending

- at minimum, allows us to test for association

- might show time order depending on how the study is set up; for example, asking survey questions in a manner that clarifies time order

- the lower you go from the experimental design, the more statistical analysis that is required
