Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dr. Howe is using a quasi-experimental research design since he is comparing the DWI convictions before and after a law is passed without controlling for any other variables or using a control group. This type of design is often used when researchers cannot manipulate variables or randomly assign participants to groups, but still want to examine cause-and-effect relationships.
