Description: Quasi-Experimentation : A Guide to Design and Analysis, Paperback by Reichardt, Charles S., ISBN 1462540201, ISBN-13 9781462540204, Brand New, Free P&P in the UK This guide explains the design of quasi-experiments used to estimate cause and effect, and the analysis of the data they produce to provide estimates of treatment effects that are credible, including a wide range of design options. After an overview of quasi-experimentation, chapters discuss treatment effect and obstacles for drawing credible causal inferences; the effect of a treatment as a function of size-of-effect factors; randomized experiments as a benchmark for comparing quasi-experiments; alternatives to randomized experiments, focusing on one-group posttest-only design and its strengths and weaknesses; prototypical quasi-experiments, including the pretest-posttest design, the nonequivalent group design, the regression discontinuity design, and the interrupted time-series design, including threats to internal validity in each and methods for dealing with them; a typology of designs for estimating treatment effects that go beyond the prototypical designs; how each of the fundamental design types in the typology can be elaborated by adding supplementary comparisons; examples of unfocused design elaboration and how it can address multiple threats to validity; and the underlying principles of good design and analysis.
