Used for :
Quasi experimental designs are generally used to
establish the causality ( effect of independent variable
on dependent variable) in situations where researchers
are not able to randomly assign the subjects to groups
for various reasons.
 CHARACTERISTICS

03
• Manipulation of the independent
variable to observe the effects of
the dependent variables.

• It lacks at least one of the two other

essential characteristics of the true
experiment.

• Quasi independent variables are

used instead of true independent
variables and independent
variable is not manipulated in
complete controlled situations.
Non Randomized Control Design
• Also known as “ non equivalent
control group design”.
• Identical to the pre test post test
group design, except there is
no random assignment of the
04
study subjects in experimental
and control groups.
TY PES
• In this design experimental and
control groups are selected
without randomization.
• Dependent variables are
observed in experimental as
well as control groups before
the intervention.
Time Series Design
• Is useful when the researcher
intends to measure the effects
of a treatment over a long
period of time.
• The researcher would continue
to continue to administer the
treatment and measure the
effects a number during the
course of the experiment.
• In a single-subject research, in
which the researcher carries out
an experiment on an individual
or on a small number of
individuals, by alternating
between administering and
then withdrawing the treatment
to determine the effectiveness
of the intervention.
 ADVANTAGES
 Quasi experimental designs are
more frequently used because
they are more practical and
feasible to conduct research.

05
 Where the sample size is small,
and where randomization &
availability of control group is not
possible, this design is preferred.
 more suitable for real natural
world setting than true
experimental designs.
 Allows the researchers to
evaluate the impact of quasi
independent variables under
naturally occurring conditions.
 In some cases hypotheses are
practically answered through this
design.
 06

DISADVANTA
GES

 In these design there is no control

over extraneous variable
influencing the dependent
variable.
 The absence of a control group
and absence of control over the
research setting makes the result
of this design less reliable and
