For this assignment, review three peer-reviewed articles relating to technology that employed
a non-experimental design (e.g., correlation and/or causal-comparative). In a paper, report
your answers to the following questions for each article (address all components for each
article before moving on to the next article):
• What was the research problem?
• What variables were analyzed, and what were the hypotheses tested?
• What types of statistical analyses were used?
• Which, if any, of the general strengths and weaknesses of non-experimental designs
did the study demonstrate? Are there any threats to validity? Explain.
• Evaluate the quality of the research study
o Was a non-experimental design the most appropriate design and why or why
not?
o How credible are the conclusions of the study?
