Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Non-experimental (correlational) research is lowest in internal validity because these designs fail to use manipulation or control. Quasi-experimental research (which will be described in more detail in a subsequent chapter) is in the middle because it contains some, but not all, of the features of a true experiment.
Detailed explanation-2: -In experimental studies the researcher sets up the environment and carefully controls the variables s/he is interested in. Non-experimental research takes place in a real-life setting, and it is not possible for the researcher to control all possible variables.
