AdvantagesGetting Started

  • usually at least some control over extraneous variables, easier to establish causality
  • easy to replicate (Lab, field)
  • can use random allocation

Disadvantages

  • in artificial settings, low ecological validity - difficult to generalise
  • demand characteristics
  • experimenter bias
  • order effects

Evaluation

experiments can be Laboratory (controlled), Field (everyday environments with IV control) or natural (no control over IV, e.g. natural disaster)
