    I need some examples for an essay and I can't seem to find many studies online. Could you suggest one for each and maybe leave a link to the website where the study is?

    Thanks.

    Field experiments: Feshbach & Singer (1971), Godden & Baddeley (1975), Hofling (1966).
    Quasi experiments: Joy et Al (1977) is the only one I can think of.
