Advantages of Experimental Method
1 Don't have to wait for natural events 2 Produces Quantitative data that can be analalyzed by inferential statistical tests which allows researchers how likely the outcome would occur by chance 3 Control variables show cause and effect relationship
3 of 5
Disadvantages of Experimental method
1) Participants act differently 2) Must question how far is it appropriate to generalize results outside those who took part in the study
4 of 5

Proof that the independent variable has a direct effect on the dependent variable by controlling other variables
