Question 5

Advantage and disadvantage of laboratory experiment

Answer 5

Control setting, less effect of extraneous variable, High internal validity

Low, ecological validity , not able to generalise findings are real life setting
More effort time money in order to conduct research

High into a note validity , more at East due to the natural environment
Less effort to set up and conduct

Higher chance of extraneous variable affecting the result
