Understanding of quasi-experimental designs

Enhance your understanding of quasi-experimental designs.  Evaluate an example of the appropriate use of this methodology, mainly as it might pertain to a counseling environment.  The example can be one you find in the literature or one you make up. Let’s say that a professor offers the class an extra five points on their final exam if they participate in a study.  The professor has 500 students in the course.  What would make this an experimental study as compared to a quasi-experimental study?  Reference should be within 10 years

Methodological techniques for studying the social world

In Chapter 3 of your textbook, various methodological techniques for studying the social world are discussed. A key aspect of sociological research is utilizing the power of observation. Applying what you have learned about sociological research: First, discuss the role of observational research as a key methodology for studying society.

Second, utilizing nonparticipant observation, participant observation, ethnography, or ethnography observe and record a detailed account of a social context or virtual social context that you are no stranger to (think local coffee shop, shopping mall, church or night club, a blog, Twitter feed, or Instagram) from a sociological perspective. Be careful to be objective and ethically neutral. Do not include judgments or opinions of behaviors but rather, as best as possible, systematic observations.

Third, discuss how a common-sense view of that social setting may look different from a sociological one. Does looking through the lens of sociological research methodology transform how that social space may be viewed? Substantiate your views.

Fourth and finally, post a response to another classmate’s posting discussing your thoughts in a respectful and thoughtful manner. What stood out to you about their observations and the behaviors occurring?
