Quasi-Experimentation in a Critical Multiplist Mode.

Shadish, William R., Jr.; And Others

New Directions for Program Evaluation, n31 p29-46 Fall 1986

Since usually no defensible option for performing a task within quasi-experimentation is unbiased, it is desirable to select several options that reflect biases in different directions. The benefits of applying a critical multiplism approach to causal hypotheses, group nonequivalence, and units of analysis in quasi-experimentation is discussed. (Author/BS)
