Independent Groups

• Independent Groups


  Different participants complete each condition

  • Randomly assigned to conditions to reduce researcher bias
  • Produced unrelated data, cant be compared
• (+) A03: Reduce Demand Characteristics

  Less likely to work out the aim of the study, therefore reducing demand characteristics, and produce no order effects
• (-) A03: Double the Sample

  Need double the amount of participants needed when using repeated measures, participant variables can also effect results
