Experimental and Research Design Flashcards
Repeated measured design definition
each participant takes part in every condition
Strengths of repeated measured design
Controls participant variables (same person)Fewer participants
Weaknesses of repeated measured design
can guess aims (leading to demand characteristics, guess aim when they repeat study)
Independent groups design definition
different participants allocated to 2+ experimental groups, representing different IV levels
strengths of independent groups
avoids order effects (only tested once)+ Less liely to guess aim (more pps)
Weaknesses of independent grups
participant variables
Matched pairs design
participants paired or key variables
Strengths of matched pairs design
conrols participant variablesavoids order effects
Weakness of matches pairs
time consumingdoesnt control all participant variables
How to control matched groups design
use large sample
How to control independent
randomisation
