Answer to Question 1

ANS: D

Feedback
A Cross-sectional design does not allow for intraparticipant comparisons because data are collected at one point in time.
B In ex post facto research, events have already occurred; intraparticipant comparison is not involved.
C Retrospective studies are similar to ex post facto research. In ex post facto research, events have already occurred; intraparticipant comparison is not involved.
D In longitudinal studies, subjects serve as their own controls, and trends in the data can emerge.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C

Feedback
A Nonexperimental designs allow observation of phenomena; experimental designs permit environmental (variable) manipulation.
B Nonexperimental designs involve no manipulation of variables.
C Experimental designs seek to establish cause-and-effect relationships by active manipulation of variables (e.g., treatments).
D Nonexperimental designs should have a scientific basis or rationale.
