Detailed explanation-1: -Random assignment is however a process of randomly assigning subjects to experimental or control groups. This is a standard practice in true experimental research to ensure that treatment groups are similar (equivalent) to each other and to the control group, prior to treatment administration.
Detailed explanation-2: -Although control groups are more common in experimental research, they can be used in other types of research too. Researchers generally rely on non-experimental control groups in two cases: quasi-experimental or matching design.
Detailed explanation-3: -With simple random assignment, every member of the sample has a known or equal chance of being placed in a control group or an experimental group. Studies that use simple random assignment are also called completely randomized designs.
Detailed explanation-4: -The group in an experiment which receives the specified treatment is called the Treatment Group or the experimental group. However, the term Control Group refers to another group assigned to the experiment, but not for the purpose of being exposed to the treatment.
