Detailed explanation-1: -Field Experiment Field experiments are done in the everyday (i.e. real life) environment of the participants. The experimenter still manipulates the independent variable, but in a real-life setting (so cannot really control extraneous variables).
Detailed explanation-2: -Nonexperimental research is research that lacks the manipulation of an independent variable, control of extraneous variables through random assignment, or both.
Detailed explanation-3: -A natural experiment is otherwise known as a quasi-experiment as the researcher is unable to manipulate the IV as is pre-exists such as gender but the DV is still measured based on this naturally occurring IV.
Detailed explanation-4: -Cross-sectional research It studies the experiment by comparing two already existing groups. This comparison is done at the same time. As it is a non-experimental design, it does not involve the manipulation of independent variables and does not assign participants randomly.
