Question

current attempt in progress françois is combing through newspaper articles that were published between 1950 and 1970 to try to determine how the american public felt about civil rights limitations and advances during that time period. what kind of research is he conducting?

a quasi-experiment

experimental design

a survey

archival research

Explanation:

Archival research involves examining existing records (like old newspaper articles here) to gather data. François is using newspaper articles from 1950 - 1970 (archival sources) to study public opinion on civil rights, so this fits archival research. Quasi - experiments and experimental designs involve manipulating variables (not done here), and a survey would involve collecting new data from participants (not using existing records).

Answer:

D. archival research
