	Advantages Easy to replicate because researcher has control of the Variables. An experiment can gather quantative data (numerical) which can be easily calculated.	Disadvantages The artificial setting can intimidate participants and may be more obedient causing un natural behaviour. Demand characteristics can effect results. Artificial setting raises questions on Ecological Validity for real life behaviour.
