The difference is that in a quasi-experiment the criterion for assignment is selected by the researcher, while in a natural experiment the assignment occurs 'naturally,' without the researcher's intervention. Quasi experiments have outcome measures, treatments, and experimental units, but do not use random assignment.
Quasi-Experimental Designs ï§In a quasi-experimental design, the researcher lacks control over the assignment to conditions and/or does not manipulate the causal variable of interest. ï§A quasi-independent variable is not manipulated by the researcher but rather is an event that occurred for other reasons.ne-group pretest-posttest design ï§For these reasons, simple pretest-posttest design should never be used without a control condition and other efforts to control third variables.
