    An experimental design involves using a group of randomly selected participants to partake in a certain task or under select conditions to measure the effect of a particular variable. A pre-experimental design is […]

    In an experimental design, groups of participants are randomly assigned to different conditions (or variables) in a research experiment. A pre-experimental design also follows the steps of an experimental design […]

    Hi Simona,

    I agree that an experimental design would make it easier to find direct relationships and would allow us to make causal inferences.

    The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat was not only an interesting story to read but it also brings to light a complex situation that would be hard for any doctor to diagnose. I was extremely interested in the […]

    Hi Jayanti,

    I agree with the idea that intervening might result in more problems instead of actually improving Dr. P’s ability to perceive. It would be better for him to not receive treatment as long as he is […]

    The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat was a very interesting read and it allowed me to raise multiple questions. As I read the story, I questioned whether or not the situation actually took place because it was […]

    My first hypothesis is that there will be a significant difference in the response times between the Stroop test taken with noise and the Stroop test taken without noisel it will take longer to take the test with […]

    Hi Afifa,

    I agree with both your rationales and hypotheses! I have the same ones!

    Hi Afifa,
    I agree with both your hypotheses and find your reasonings to be very well put together and logical.

    I hypothesized that there will be a longer response time while taking the hard stroop test than the response time for those taking the easy stroop test. This is due to the findings of research on the original […]

    I hypothesized that there would be a significant difference in response times between the easy and hard Stroop tests. I believe that responses will be slower when completing the hard Stroop test as compared to the […]

    One of my hypothesis for this paper is if a person scores high in neuroticism, their academic achievement/GPA will be lower. I believed that this hypothesis would be true because a high score in neuroticism […]

    Hi George,

    One of my hypothesis is also the same as yours! I agree that more neurotic people will tend to remain anxious about their grades and how they’re doing in school and will in turn exhibit high academic […]

    One of my hypotheses for this paper is that students ranking high in extroversion will be more likely to partake in social learning and help-seeking. I think this will be proven true because extroverts have an […]

    One hypothesis of mine focuses on the relationship between conscientiousness and social learning and help-seeking. Because conscientiousness describes an individual who understands the consequences of their […]

    Hi Geralyn,

    I liked that you pointed out that a within-subjects design is less time consuming. It was also important for you to consider that the error variance would be reduced using this design.

    I think one advantage of within-subject design study is that there can be a fewer number of participants tested. The same person’s behavior can be tested under two separate conditions and then be compared. For […]

    You’ve covered so many great points in your comment. I think your example research study is really interesting! I’d definitely read it.

    Within-subject studies are advantageous because they are not only cost effective, but they are also more efficient in avoiding error variance. Since the same participants are being used to compare the impact(s) of […]
