Method allows studies to be highly controlled
Lab experiments mean we can closely monitor extraneous variables
Allows us to conclude it is the IV impacting DV, demonstrating causal relationship
For this to work, EX variables need to be controlled and this is easiest in artificial settings like lab
Ability to control study is advantageous because without demonstrating causal relationships we don't truly know why what we are observing is happening
