Why do quasi-experiments tend to have very good construct validity for the independent variable?
A) Because the manipulations have been previously validated in the lab
B) Because they use real-world manipulations/experiences
C) Because they tend to use more participants
D) Because they also have good construct validity for the dependent variable
E) None of the above-quasi-experiments tend not to have very good construct validity for the independent variable

Quasi-experiments tend to use real-world manipulations/experiences, which are more reflective of the variable being studied in its natural setting. This makes the manipulation more authentic and representative of the construct being studied, leading to better construct validity for the independent variable.
