 RESEARCH LOCALE
The setting of the Study
TYPES
Laboratory Studies – designed to be more highly controlled in relation
to both the environment in which the study is conducted & the control
of extraneous & intervening variables.
Laboratory Studies
Example: Physiological laboratory experiments, chemistry &
physics experiments, psychological and microbiological experiments
are laboratory experiment, designed to control the possibility of
extraneous variables influencing the effect of the independent variable
on the dependent variable. In the laboratory setting, it is possible to
control environmental variables, such as temperature, humidity, light
and sound, as well as physiological variables such as nutrition and
hydration of the subjects during the experiment in clinical researches.
RESEARCH LOCALE
 Field Studies - Simply means they occur somewhere other
than in a controlled laboratory setting. They occur in
natural settings and use a variety of methods such as field
experiments, participant observations in villages or hospital
wards, interviews in home or office, questionnaire sent to
research subjects and anything at all that does not occur in
a controlled laboratory setting.
