Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Experimental design involves randomly assigning participants to conditions in order to establish cause-and-effect relationships between variables. Quasi-experimental design does not involve random assignment, correlational design looks at relationships between variables without manipulating them, and random sample refers to the selection of participants from a larger population, but does not necessarily involve random assignment to conditions.
