|
Independent Measures Design |
Participants only take part in one condition of the experiment (2 separate groups). |
Independent Measures Design |
|
|
Repeated Measures Design |
Participants take part in both conditions of the experiment (1 group). |
Repeated Measures Design |
|
|
Matched Pairs Design |
Participants are matched in each condition for characteristics that may have an effect on their performance. |
Matched Pairs Design |
|
|
Strengths of Independent Measures Design |
- Avoids order effects - Quicker - Behaviour won’t be effected as they only take part in one condition |
Think of limitations of repeated measures design and matched pairs design. |
|
|
Limitations of Independent Measures Design |
- The researcher can not control the effects of participant variables - Needs to gather more participants |
Think of strengths of repeated measures design and matched pairs design. |
|
|
Strengths of Repeated Measures Design |
- Doesn’t need as many participants - Quicker |
Think of limitations of independent measures design and matched pairs design. |
|
|
Limitations of Repeated Measures Design |
- The order of conditions may affect the performance (order effect) - On the second experiment they could guess the purpose which could affect their behaviour |
Think of strengths of independent measures design and matched pairs design. |
|
|
Strengths of Matched Pairs Design |
- Avoids order effects - Avoids bias |
Think of limitations of independent measures design and repeated measures design. |
|
|
Limitations of Matched Pairs Design |
- It is time consuming - Not possible to control all participant variables |
Think of strengths of independent measures design and repeated measures design. |
|
|
Individual Differences |
The psychological differences between people and their similarities. |
|
|
|
Demand Characteristics |
A cue that makes participants unconsciously aware of the aims of a study or helps participants work out what the researcher expects to find. |
|
|
|
Order Effects |
In a repeated measures design, an extraneous variable arising from the order in which conditions are presented. |
|
|
|
Counterbalancing |
An experimental technique used to overcome order effects. It ensures that each condition is tested first or second in equal amounts. |
|
|
|
What are the Counterbalancing Methods? |
1) AB or BA => Divide participants into two groups. One group does AB, the second does BA. 2) ABBA => All participants take part in each condition twice (A to B then B to A). |
