Explain the difference between an experiment, correlational study, and a quasi-experiment. Give an example of each that could be used to address the following research question: “Does training impact job satisfaction?”
What will be an ideal response?
Correlational studies examine pre-existing relationships. Quasi-experiments compare pre-existing groups. Experiments compare groups randomly assigned to different conditions. A correlational training study might examine the relationship between number of training sessions completed and job satisfaction as measured on a survey. A quasi-experiment might compare job satisfaction between those that chose to complete training and those that chose not to. An experiment might compare job satisfaction between those randomly assigned to complete training (treatment group) and those that were randomly assigned not to (control group).
