- Research Design
- Independent Measures
- Participants are randomly allocated to different experiments conditions
- Each group only takes part in one condition
- Strengths
- No chance of order effects
- Less chance of demand characteristics
- Weaknesses
- Individual differences
- Researchers may need to collect more people (time consuming)
- Participants are randomly allocated to different experiments conditions
- Repeated Measures
- Participants take part in both experimental conditions
- Strengths
- No individual differences (lower)
- Fewer participants needed
- Weaknesses
- Order effects (boredom, fatigue, practice effect)
- Demand characteristics likely
- Matched Pairs Design
- Finding out information about participants and recruiting others with the same qualities
- Age, religion, IQ etc may be some factors that the participants are matched on
- Everyone in the original group has a 'twin' in the other
- Strengths
- Cancels out individual differences
- No order effects
- Less chance of demand characteristics
- Weaknesses
- Individual differences will still be apparent
- Researcher will need more participants (time consuming)
- Finding out information about participants and recruiting others with the same qualities
- Independent Measures
