experimental design Flashcards
what do the two levels of the iv effect
the conditions of the study
experimental designs
independent groups study
repeated measures
matched pairs
independent groups design
one group has one condition the other group has the other condition the the results are compared
repeatred measures
one group does both conditions and then compare the results
matched pairs
one person from each pair is in each group it is the same a independent groups design then results are compared
how to control for effects in the designs
to control order effects in repeated measures use counterbalancing
when picking groups for independent groups design use randomization or lottery method
controlling situational variables
use standardised procedures so all conditions are the same
what does counterbalancing do to the impact of order effects
it spreads the impact across the two conditions equally
therefore the the difference in conditions is due due to manipulation of iv not due to ev or order effects
