In an experiment, a researcher randomly assigns participants to at least two experimental conditions. The researcher then treats each condition differently. Due to random assignment, the researcher can assume that the only difference between conditions is the difference in treatment. For example, a medical experiment may learn about the effect of a pill by creating two experimental conditions and giving the pill to participants in only one condition. In a survey experiment, the randomization and treatment occur within a survey questionnaire. +A survey experiment is an experiment conducted within a survey.

For example, a medical experiment may learn about the effect of a pill by creating two experimental conditions and giving the pill to participants in only one condition. In a survey experiment, the randomization and treatment occur within a survey questionnaire. There are two types of survey experiments. One type is used to measure sensitive attitudes or behaviors and the other is used to learn about causal relationships. By sensitive attitudes and behaviors, we mean any attitude or behavior that the respondent does not want to be publicly associated with. Many respondents, for example, do not want to be associated with racism or illegal behaviors. diff --git a/survey_exp/svyExps_methods_guide.html b/survey_exp/svyExps_methods_guide.html index 4c82d86..59c656b 100644 --- a/survey_exp/svyExps_methods_guide.html +++ b/survey_exp/svyExps_methods_guide.html @@ -262,6 +262,7 @@ +
