    Post Facto and Post Test Only Design

    Uploaded by

    Jolly Ducoy Puertos
    An ex post facto research design analyzes differences between groups based on characteristics that already exist, rather than through random assignment. For example, a study on weight and self-esteem would separate adults into groups based on their pre-existing weight (underweight, normal, overweight) and measure differences in self-esteem levels. While not a true experiment due to lack of random assignment, ex post facto designs are often necessary in health psychology when conditions cannot be manipulated. Key characteristics include studying effects of independent variables that occurred before the study and having less control over variables.

    What is post facto research?
    • Ex post facto study or after-the-
    fact research is a category of research design
    in which the investigation starts after the fact
    has occurred without interference from the
    researcher.
    What is the difference between experimental and
    ex post facto research design?
    • True experiments have random assignment
    because you're looking at something else.
    In ex post facto, you are looking at a prior
    variable present in the participant. In an ex
    post facto design, you are not randomly
    assigning people to an experimental group or
    control group.
    What is a pre post design?
    • A pretest posttest design is an experiment
    where measurements are taken both before
    and after a treatment. The design means that
    you are able to see the effects of some type of
    treatment on a group. Pretest
    posttest designs may be quasi-experimental,
    which means that participants are not
    assigned randomly.
    What are the characteristics of ex post facto
    research?
    • Characteristics of Ex Post Facto • The
    independent variable (IV) is not manipulated;
    it has already occurred. Less costly and time-
    consuming to conduct. Establishing cause-
    effect relationships is more difficult than in
    experiments. Researcher has little to no
    control over independent variables.
    What is ex post facto research with example?

    • The assignment of subjects to different groups


    is based on whichever variable is of interest to
    the researchers. For example, a researcher is
    interested in how weight influences self-
    esteem levels in adults. ... This is an ex post
    facto design because a pre-existing
    characteristic (weight) was used to form the
    groups.
    What are the three characteristics of an ex
    post facto law?
    • In legal terms, an ex post facto law is typically
    considered one that: makes a legal act illegal
    after it has already been performed; changes
    the punishment of a crime that has already
    been committed; or makes it easier to convict
    someone for a crime they allegedly committed
    before the law's existence.

    What is causal comparative or ex post facto
    research?
    • What is causal-comparative research? Also
    known as “ex post facto” research. (Latin for
    “after the fact”). In this type
    of research investigators attempt to
    determine the cause or consequences of
    differences that already exist between or
    among groups of individuals.
    What is an ex post facto design?
    • Ex post facto study or after-the-fact research
    is a category of research design in which the
    investigation starts after the fact has occurred
    without interference from the researcher.
    Why is it necessary to use ex post facto
    studies?
    • Ex post facto design is a quasi-experimental
    study examining how an independent variable,
    present prior to the study in the participants,
    affects a dependent variable. ... Ex post
    facto designs are most often used with health
    psychology because it is difficult to assign a
    person a medical condition.
    Ex Post Facto Research Design
    • An ex post facto research design is a method
    in which groups with qualities that already
    exist are compared on some dependent
    variable. Also known as "after the fact"
    research, an ex post facto design is considered
    quasi-experimental because the subjects are
    not randomly assigned - they are grouped
    based on a particular characteristic or trait.
    • Although differing groups • For example, a researcher is

    and dependent variables it in adults. So the participants
