Quasi-experimentation

Quasi-experimentation is a research method used to study cause-and-effect relationships when randomly assigning participants to groups is not possible. Unlike traditional experiments that control all variables, quasi-experiments observe real-world settings where groups may naturally differ. Researchers then compare these groups to see if a specific factor influences outcomes. This approach allows for practical investigation of questions where controlled experiments are impractical, providing valuable insights while accepting some limitations in establishing definitive causality.
