Handout 02 KINDS OF RESEARCH123

This document discusses quantitative research methods, including experimental and non-experimental research. It defines experimental research as treating subjects or objects in a controlled manner to determine the effect of treatments. There are three types of experimental research: true experiments, quasi-experiments, and pre-experiments. Non-experimental research includes descriptive, comparative, and correlational research. The document also defines key research variables like independent variables, which are manipulated; dependent variables, which are measured; and intervening variables, which help explain causal links.
