Types of Statistical Research Studies

Magnet Therapy Study: In a study of the effects of magnets on back pain, some subjects were treated with magnetic devices while others were given non-magnetic devices that looked identical to the magnetic devices. The researcher concluded that the magnetic devices did not appear to be effective in treating severe back pain.

Determine whether the study is an observational study, an experiment, or a meta-analysis, and explain your choice. In preparing your answer, include the following terms:

  • Observational, Experimental and Meta-analytic study,
  • Explanatory and Response Variables,
  • Confounding Variables,
  • Treatment and Control Groups,
  • and any other concepts from the assigned readings and/or class sessions you deem helpful and appropriate.
