Book excerpt: Virtually all testable terms, concepts, persons, places, and events are included. This series gives all of the outlines, highlights, notes for your textbook with optional online practice tests as well. Experimental and quasi-experimental designs for generalized causal inference covers four major topics in field experimentation: Theoretical matters: Experimentation, causation, and validity ; Quasi-experimental design: Regression discontinuity designs, interrupted time series designs, quasi-experimental designs that use both pretests and control groups, and other designs ; Randomized experiments: Logic and design issues, and practical problems involving ethics, recruitment, assignment, treatment implementation, and attrition ; Generalized causal inference: A grounded theory of generalized causal inference, along with methods for implementing that theory in single and multiple studies.
