In an artificial and controlled setting which isn't natural to the participants
1 of 35
What variable is mulipulated ?
Independant variable
2 of 35
True or false the dependant variable is measured to see the effect of the IV?
True
3 of 35
What other variables could affect the results?
confounding and extrenuous variables
4 of 35
What can be drawn from a lab experiment?
Cause and effect
5 of 35
Are Lab studies reliable explain your anwser?
yes because the careful controls mean they can be tested for reliability by carrying study out again achieving the same results
6 of 35
What study can represent lab experiments?
Loftus and palmer
7 of 35
where does a field experiment take place?
in a natural environment of the participants
8 of 35
Are the other variables controled?
Yes however they have less control because it's in a natural setting
9 of 35
Can a cause and effect be drawn?
yes as far as is possible within a natural setting

Are field experiments reliable? Explain your anwser
Yes because of the careful controls making it easily replicated
11 of 35
One study that represents field experiment?
Hofling et al nurses obedience study

What is a naturalistic experiment?
involves a naturally occuring , independant variable and dependant variable which is measured to see the effect
13 of 35
Is a naturalistic experiment valid? explain your anwser
Yes because it occurs is a natural environment and the task occurs naturally
14 of 35
What may affect the cause and effect?
confounding variables meaning the IV may not change the DV

get more than one researcher to observe the situation

quantative data
24 of 35
whats a positive of using qualitative data?
indepth anwsers understanding participants emotions and detailed responses to the question

what type of testing can be carried out ?
statistical testing e.g. spearman rank or chi-square

if there is quantative data inolving two scores from each participant in a research method
30 of 35
what does a positive correlation mean?
that as scores on one scale rise so do scores on the other
31 of 35
What is a negative correlation?
scores will move in opposite directions as one gets higher the other decreases
