What is the difference between a true experiment and a quasi-experiment? What is the advantage of a true experiment over a quasi-experiment?

What will be an ideal response?


In a true experiment, the independent variable is under the control of the researcher, whereas in a quasi-experiment the independent variable was selected by the participant in some way. Advantages will vary. Example: Because we randomly assign participants to groups, we can assume the groups are initially equivalent. Therefore, any differences between the groups following the treatment are due to our treatment effect.
