Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Experimental studies involve manipulating one or more variables and observing the effect on the behavior of participants. Therefore, the researcher has control over the variables in the study. Nonexperimental studies do not involve manipulation of variables, correlational studies do not involve manipulation of variables or control over extraneous variables, and pseudo-experimental studies are similar to experiments but lack random assignment of participants to groups.
