Detailed explanation-1: -Experimental research consists of a hypothesis, a variable that the researcher can manipulate, and variables that can be measured, calculated, and compared.
Detailed explanation-2: -Therefore, in experiments, a researcher manipulates an independent variable to determine if it causes a change in the dependent variable.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The correct answer is True. Natural experiments are quasi-experiments, and they do not allow the researcher the ability to control or manipulate the independent variable. They are still experimental studies.
Detailed explanation-4: -Sometimes, in order to control the intervening variables the researcher may have to identify and measure them. Apart from the measurement of intervening variables, the dependent variable (variable under investigation) has also to be measured so as to see what changes have been brought about by the treatment.
