Quantitative
research methods
- Lab experiment- an
experiment where you
control everything on the
environment. Pps would not
normally be in that
environment
- Advantages
- easy to replicate
- can decide
where and
when
- high level
of control
can isolate
cause and
effect
- easy to replicate
- Disadvantages
- people can be intimidated
- may be issues in ecological validity
- people can be intimidated
- Advantages
- Field experiments- an
experiment where you have
control over the IV but not
the general environment. Pps
would normally be in that
environemnt
- Advantages
- less chance of demand charactoristics
- less chance of demand charactoristics
- Disadvantages
- less control over the environment
- harder to
tell
whether
the DV is
affected
by the IV
or other
variables
- less control over the environment
- Advantages
- Natural experiment- where the IV
is already changing. so the
researcher cannot 'create' a
different purpose for the
experiment
- Quasi- where the IV cannot be controlled
such as age, gender or ethnicity
- Advantages
- allows researchers to investigate
behaviours that could not be
studied or created otherwise
- less chance
of demand
charactorisics
- allows researchers to investigate
behaviours that could not be
studied or created otherwise
- Disadvantages
- less control overall
- IV is not
controlled by the
investiagtor
