Needs Grading

An experiment’s ability to yield valid conclusions about causal effects is determined by the comparability of is experimental and comparison groups. Identify and describe five sources of internal invalidity.

The five sources of internal validity are:

Selection Bias which is the characteristics of treatment and comparison group subjects differ in any way that influences the outcome.

Endogenous Change which occurs when natural developments or changes in the subject (independent if the experiment treatment itself) account for some or all of the observed changes between pretest and posttest.

External Events or history effects is the events that happen outside the experiment can affect the subject outcomes scores. 

Contamination occurs when the control groups is in some way affected by, or affects, the treatment group.

Treatment misidentification occurs when the treatment itself does not cause the outcome but does cause some other process the research is not aware of.
