Topic 3 DQ 1 Apr 3-5, 2023 Provide examples of experimental and nonexperimental research design. Contrast the levels of control applied to each. Experimental designs are used when the researcher wants to control and alter the variables in a study, in order to test a certain hypothesis. An example of experimental research design is testing a new blood pressure medication through a randomized controlled trial. The experimental group receives the drug in this trial, whereas the control group receives a placebo. Participants may only be a member of one of the groups. Nonexperimental designs are used when the researcher does not want to manipulate the variables but rather wants to simply observe and describe what is happening. An example of the non-experimental design maybe on the effectiveness of physical activity on obese patients. One group goes through intensive exercise without a change in diet while the other participates in dietary modifications. Non- experimental research can be assessing the features of dietary modifications necessary to reducing obesity. The level of control applied to each type of design varies. The key distinction between these approaches is how they handle variables. The experimental design allows for variable manipulation, whereas the non-experimental design does not. In terms of levels of control, experimental study design has influence on extraneous factors. Extraneous factors, according to Laksana et al. (2020), are variables that are not explored but can impact the findings of the research study. As a result, experimental research disrupts the natural environment. Experimentation research environments, on the other hand, are natural and do not control for extraneous factors. According to Harding et al. (2021), the capacity of the researcher to control independent variables is the most significant distinction between experimental and non- experimental research designs. Non-experimental research does not interact with the natural environment, whereas experimental research does. The control is justified because researchers should control factors that might lead to incorrect conclusions. References Harding, D. J., Sanbonmatsu, L., et at., (2021).
