Population-based surveys involve the collection of data from a representative sample of the population, which enhances external validity compared to laboratory or field experiments. However, they may have lower control over the experimental setting compared to other types of experiments. Additionally, the confidence in the manipulation of the independent variable and the causal relationship may depend on the quality of the survey questions and design.
