Quasi-experiments

A quasi-experiment is a type of research study where researchers investigate the effects of something (like a program or intervention) without randomly assigning participants to different groups. Instead, they observe existing groups or conditions. While this method helps study real-world situations where randomization isn’t possible, it may be more challenging to determine if the observed effects are truly caused by the intervention, because other factors might differ between groups. Quasi-experiments are useful for studying things in natural settings, providing valuable insights when controlled experiments aren’t feasible.
