True experiment
• It is one of the most accurate forms of research because it
provides specific scientific evidence. out of all the types of
experimental designs, only a true experimental design can
establish a cause-effect relationship within a group.
• However, in a true experiment, a researcher must satisfy
these three conditions:
1.There is a control group that is not subjected to changes and an
experimental group that will experience the changed variables
• Counterbalancing
Counterbalancing methods are used to counteract this. Half of the p’s complete
the first condition first, and the others satisfy the second condition. In this way,
it is possible to determine whether sequence effects influence the results.
