Document Summary

Psych (day i slept in, so did it on the following monday) We can apply this to a questionnaire or the study in general. Standardized tape measure, is the floor level, same everything. Instead of one dependant and independent variables, can test lots of things all at once, might be several test groups and several control groups. There are too many individual factors influencing each individual person, so can"t control everything! Test large groups of participants (that one oddball gets washed out ) People who signed up early into one condition, etc. Should flip a coin, or use random number generator to give participants a one two or three to decide which condition they"ll be in. Matching engage is some level of control, so need to balance conditions. Bands=age ranges matching and random assignment can word together confounding* accidentally not engaged in control, and allowed something else to be different in the conditions.
