Experimental method

Define experimental method

• In this case the observer makes no effort to control or manipulate the situation for making an observation.

• It is a carefully regulated procedure in which changes are made in one factor and its effect is studied on another factor, while keeping other related factors constant

Define Variable

• refers to an individual’s underlying potential for acquiring skills

• enduring beliefs about an ideal mode of behaviour

• Any stimulus or event which varies, that is, it takes on different values (or changes) and can be measured

• involves seeking information from a person on a one-to-one basis

Select the correct control techniques

• Random assignment of participants to different groups eliminates any potential systematic differences between groups.

• relatively enduring characteristics of a person that make her or him distinct from others

• Counter-balancing technique is used to minimise the sequence effect

• enduring beliefs about an ideal mode of behaviour

_____________________is that variable which is manipulated or altered or its strength varied by the researcher in the experiment.

a method that ensures that each person has an equal chance of being included in any of the groups
