Document Summary
What are some sources of bias in an experiment. Causality, to make a causal claim, manipulation of variables must be done and measured (experiment) All observational studies are correlational, cannot make causal conclusions. All participants are exposed to all conditions. Problem: possible to get the order effect. Between groups independent variable and a within groups variable. Milgrim experiment -> you can deliver an electric shock to the other person. You can choose the level to which the other person is being shocked and how long they are shocked for. Degree to which experiment supports causal conclusion. Degree to which results can be generalized. Cues in experiment convey hypothesis to participants. Participants will figure out the hypothesis and help the experimenter. See what happens in the lab -> demonstrate that there is a causal link -> see if it happens in everyday life too; done for control. Yes -> everything is different when you switch things around.
