Map content
Reliability
- how consistent the finding are, if it was repeated would the same/similar results be found?
needs
- high levels of control
- standardised procedure
- manipulate the IV to measure effect on DV
lab is highest
field is low
- because enviroment could have changed slightly since last time, this is because we cannot control the enviroment but we can control the lab settings
strengths of low reliability
- high ecological validity
- less DC&SD
weaknesses of low reliability
- not control extreaneous variables
- not infer cause and effect
- low validity
- lack of control so we do not know if we are measuring what we are meant to be measuring or if it is an extrenous varaible
