Which of the following is/are example(s) of Quasi-Experimental designs?

1.Non-Equivalent (Pre-test and Post-test) Control Group design
2.Posttest only Control Group design
3.Solomon Four Group design
4.Single Group Interrupted Time-Series design
5.Control Group Interrupted Time-Series design
A1, 2, 4 and 5 only
B1, 4 and 5 only ✓ Correct
C1, 2 and 3 only
D1, 2 and 4 only
Correct answer: (B) 1, 4 and 5 only
Explanation

Quasi-experimental designs lack random assignment, and the Non-Equivalent Control Group design along with both Interrupted Time-Series designs fits this criterion.

The Non-Equivalent Control Group design compares intact groups without randomisation.

The Single-Group Interrupted Time-Series design tracks one group across repeated measures before and after an intervention.

The Control-Group Interrupted Time-Series design adds a comparison series to strengthen inference.

The Posttest-Only Control Group design and the Solomon Four-Group design use random assignment, making them true experiments.

Absence of randomisation is the defining line between quasi-experimental and true experimental designs.
