Document Summary

The manipulation of the independent variable by setting it at different levels gives you the ability to describe the cause-and-effect relationship. A change in dependent variable because of the change in the independent variable. Internal validity is the quality of a study regarding how well the results of an experiment are due to the independent variables. External validity is the level of which the experiment can be generalized to the population. ), pretesting sensitization ( that"s interesting ) (can improve by doing. Solomon four test), hawthorne effect ( i"m a guinea pig ) (make it a blind study), expectancy (self-fulfilling prophecy) (awareness of issue and guarding against it), and over generalizing (differential operational definitions). You can improve internal validity by random subject assignment, control groups, being careful with measurements. You can improve external validity by subject selection with defining a population and proper sampling and replication of the experiment with a broader range of conditions (swimming to biking).
