KEYWORDS: Bloom’s: Analyze

61. Describe the similarities and differences between experiments and nonexperiments or quasi-experiments.
ANSWER: Nonexperimental and quasi-experimental studies are similar to experiments in terms of their
general structure. Nonexperiments and quasi-experiments, like experiments, involve
comparing groups of scores. However, only in an experiment does a researcher create
treatment conditions by manipulating an independent variable. Although nonexperiments and
quasi-experiments resemble experiments, they contain a confounding variable or other threat
to internal validity that is an integral part of the design. Therefore, these studies cannot
establish unambiguous cause and effect relationships.

research strategies and identify these strategies when they appear in a research report.
KEYWORDS: Bloom’s: Understand

62. Distinguish nonexperimental designs from quasi-experimental designs.


ANSWER: The difference between nonexperimental and quasi-experimental designs is the degree to
which they limit confounds and control for threats to internal validity. A nonexperimental
design makes little or no attempt to minimize threats. On the other hand, a quasi-
experimental design makes some attempt to minimize threats to internal validity and
approach the rigor of a true experiment.

Group Designs
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: GRAV.METH.16.10.02 - Define a nonequivalent group design and identify examples of this
research design when it appears in a research report.
KEYWORDS: Bloom’s: Understand

63. Describe the fundamental flaw that prevents a nonequivalent group design from being a true experiment. (That is, why
can’t these designs produce an unambiguous cause-and-effect explanation?) Explain how the pretest scores in a pretest-
posttest nonequivalent control group design help reduce this problem.
ANSWER: The basic flaw with a nonequivalent group design is that there is no assurance that the
different groups in the study were equivalent before the treatments were administered. As a
result, there are always two possible explanations for any differences that may be found
between treatments: the differences may be caused by the treatments or the differences may
have existed before the treatments were introduced. This problem is reduced by the pretest
measurements in a pretest-posttest nonequivalent control group design. If the two groups
have similar pretest scores, then you have some assurance that the two groups are equivalent,
at least for the variable being measured.
DIFFICULTY: Moderate

64. Describe the fundamental flaw that prevents a pre-post design from being a true experiment. (That is, why can’t these
designs produce an unambiguous cause-and-effect explanation?) Explain how the series of observations before the
treatment help reduce this problem.
ANSWER: The basic flaw with a pre-post design is that the observations take place over time, which
means that other events that change over time have an opportunity to influence the results.
For example, a typical time-series study compares observations before treatment with
observations after treatment. Although the treatment may be responsible for causing a
difference between the two sets of observations, it also is possible that other, time-related
factors may have caused the scores to change. Thus, there are always two possible
explanations for the differences that are found in a time-series study. This problem is reduced
if the study uses a series of observations before the treatment is administered. If outside
factors such as history or maturation are influencing the scores, the influence should be seen
in the pretest series of observations. If there are no differences among the pretest
observations, you can be more confident that outside factors are not affecting the data.

KEYWORDS: Bloom’s: Understand

65. Describe the similarities and differences between time-series and interrupted time-series designs.
ANSWER: Both time-series designs require a series of observations for each participant before and after
a treatment or event. Both designs are quasi-experimental designs. In the time-series design,
the event that occurs in the middle of the series of observations is actually a treatment
manipulated or administered by the researcher. In contrast, in the interrupted time-series
design, the researcher does not manipulate the intervening event. This design can be used to
evaluate the influence of outside events such as natural disasters.

66. Describe how the relationship between memory ability and age could be examined using a cross-sectional design.
How would the relationship be examined with a longitudinal design?
ANSWER: Cross-sectional study would compare separate groups of participants, for example, a group of
60-year-old adults, a group of 70-year-old adults, and a group of 80-year-old adults. Memory
ability would be measured for all three groups and the scores would be compared. The
corresponding longitudinal study would evaluate memory ability for one group of
participants at three different times: first when they are 60 years old, again when they are 70
years old, and finally when they are 80 years old.

67. Describe the strengths and weaknesses of cross-sectional and longitudinal research.
ANSWER: The advantages of the cross-sectional study include that the data can be collected in a short
period of time and it does not require long-term cooperation between the researchers and the
participant. The disadvantages of the cross-sectional study include that individual changes
cannot be assessed and the problem of cohort or generation effects. The advantages of the
longitudinal study include the ability to assess individual change. The disadvantages of
longitudinal research include that it is time consuming, bias can be created when participants
drop out of the study, and the potential for practice effects.

Sally had told him this morning not to call them together—to just go
and do it. But they would have been out in the corridors, waiting. He
would have had to brush by them. One touch—one contact of flesh
to flesh, and one of them might have tried to prove the mortality he
found in Sean Brendan.
"I want you in your homes. I want your doors shut. I want the corridor
compartments closed tight." He looked at them, and in spite of the
death he saw rising among them like a tide, he could not let it go at
that. "I want you to do that," he said in a softer voice than any of
them had ever heard from him. "Please."
It was the hint of weakness they needed. He knew that when he
gave it to them.
"Sean!" Sally cried.
And the auditorium reverberated to the formless roar that drowned
her voice with its cough. They came toward him with their hands
high, baying, and Sally clapped her hands to her ears.

Brendan stood, wiped his hand over his eyes, turned, and jumped.
He was across the stage in two springs, his toenails gashing the
floor, and he spun Sally around with a hand that held its iron clutch
on her arm. He swept a row of seats into the feet of the closest ones,
and pushed Sally through the side door to the main corridor. He
snatched up the welding gun he had left there, and slashed across
door and frame with it, but they were barely started in their run
toward his office before he heard the hasty weld snap open and the
corridor boom with the sound of the rebounding door. Claws clicked
and scratched on the floor behind him, and bodies thudded from the
far wall, flung by momentum and the weight of the pack behind them.
There would be trampled corpses in the auditorium, he knew, in the
path between the door and the mob's main body.
Sally tugged at the locked door to the next section of corridor.
Brendan turned and played the welder's flame in the distorted faces
nearest him. Sally got the door open, and he threw her beyond it.
They forced it shut again behind them, and this time his weld was
more careful but that was broken, too, before they were through the
next compartment, and now there would be people in the parallel
corridors, racing to cut them off—racing, and howling. The animals
outside must be hearing it ... must be wondering....
He turned the two of them into a side corridor, and did not stop to
use the welder. The mob might bypass an open door ... and they
would need to be able to get to their homes....
They were running along the dome's inside curve, now, in a section
where the dome should have been braced—it hadn't been done—
and he cursed Falconer for a spiteful ass while their feet scattered
the slimy puddles and they tripped over the concrete forms that had
been thrown down carelessly.
"All right," Brendan growled to himself and to Falconer, "all right,
you'll think about that when the time comes."
They reached the corridor section that fronted on his office, and
there were teeth and claws to meet them. Brendan hewed through
the knot of people, and now it was too late to worry whether he killed
them or not. Sally was running blood down her shoulder and back,
and his own cheek had been ripped back by a throat-slash that
missed. He swallowed gulps of his own blood, and spat it out as he
worked toward his door, and with murder and mutilation he cleared
the way for himself and the mother of his boy, until he had her safe
inside, and the edge of the door sealed all around. Then he could
stop, and see the terrible wound in Sally's side, and realize the
bones of his leg were dripping and jagged as they thrust out through
the flesh.
"Didn't I tell you?" he reproached her as he went to his knees beside
her where she lay on the floor. "I told you to go straight here, instead
of to the auditorium." He pressed his hands to her side, and sobbed
at the thick well of her blood over his gnarled fingers with the tufts of
sopping fur caught in their claws. "Damn you for loving me!"
She twitched her lips in a rueful smile, and shook her head slightly.
"Go let Donel out," she whispered.
They were hammering on the office door. And there were cutting
torches available, just as much as welders. He turned and made his
way to the control cubicle, half-dragging himself. He pulled the lever
that would open the gates, once the gate motors were started, and,
pulling aside the panels on cabinets that should have had nothing to
do with it, he went through the complicated series of switchings that
diverted power from the dome pile into those motors.
The plain's mud had piled against the base of the gate, and the
hinges were old. The motors strained to push it aside, and the dome
thrummed with their effort. The lighting coils dimmed, and outside his
office door, Brendan could hear a great sigh. He pulled the listening
earphones to his skull, and heard the children shout. Then he smiled
with his ruined mouth, and pulled himself back into his office, to the
outside viewscreen, and turned it on. He got Sally and propped her
up. "Look," he mumbled. "Look at our son."
There was blurred combat on the plain, and death on that morning,
and no pity for the animals. He watched, and it was quicker than he
could ever have imagined.
"Which one is Donel?" Sally whispered.
"I don't know," he said. "Not since the children almost killed me when
they were four; you should have heard Donel shouting when he tore
my respirator away by accident—he was playing with me, Sally—and
saw me flop like a fish for air I could breathe, and saw my blood
when another one touched my throat. I got away from them that
time, but I never dared go back in after they searched out the
camera lenses and smashed them. They knew, then—they knew we
were in here, and they knew we didn't belong on their world."
And Falconer's kind would have gassed them, or simply re-mixed
their air ... they would have, after a while, no matter what.... I know
how many times I almost did....
There was a new sound echoing through the dome. "Now they don't
need us to let them out, anymore." There was a quick, sharp, deep
hammering from outside—mechanical, purposeful, tireless. "That ...
that may be Donel now."

Section 2. Information about the Mission of


Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the


assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

Section 4. Information about Donations to


the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can
be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the
widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small
donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax
exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating


charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and
keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in
locations where we have not received written confirmation of
compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of
compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where


we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in
such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make


any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of
other ways including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project


Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed


editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,


including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how
to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
