Independent Groups

Cards (2)

  • Independent groups
    • in this design all participants only take part in one condition of the IV
  • Independent groups Adv + Dis
    Adv = No order effects as participants only take part in one condition + Demand characteristics are less of a problem as they are less likely to guess the aim of the research if they only take part in one condition
    Dis = Individual differences (participant variables) between groups - The main problem with independent measures designs is that the groups might not be the same to begin with
