- Independent Groups
- Participants perform in one condition of the independent variable
- Strengths:
- No order effects
- Disadvantages

- No control of participant variables
- Experimental Design
- Matched Pairs
- Participants are matched with another participant in a different group based on similar characteristics, e.g gender or ethnicity
- Advantages
- No order effects
- Reduced risk of demand characteristics
- Disadvantages
- Time consuming and expensive
- Larger pool of participants required
- Have to be able to identify the characteristics in which you pair them
- Repeated Measures
- The same participants take place in all conditions of the IV
- Advantages
- Eliminates participant variables
- Fewer participants required
- Disadvantages
- Issue with order effects
