Use PsycINFO or a similar database to find a quasi-experimental or nonexperimental research study. (Note: Try using a specific term such as nonequivalent control group or cross-sectional as a search term. Or look for a topic that involves comparing different populations of participants. For example, using gender differences as a search term should lead you to studies comparing males and females.) Once you have located an article, answer each of the following questions.

Does your study match one of the nonexperimental or quasi-experimental designs discussed in this chapter? If so, which one? (Warning: You may find that your study is much more complex than the examples discussed in the text. In this case, it may be that a simple design is one small part of a more complicated study. If you have a complex study, try to identify the part of the study that corresponds to one of the simple designs.)
