Document Summary

Recruiting participants: several approaches to recruiting participants, use participants from a formal subject pool- an established group of people who have agreed to be contacted about participating in research studies. Ex: there is a subject pool consisting of students enrolled in introductory psychology courses who must participate in a certain number of studies to meet a course requirement: selecting participants rather than recruiting. Create a written protocol that specifies everything that experimenters are to do or say. Create standard instructions that participants read themselves or that are read to them word per word. Automate the rest of the procedure as much as possible.

Be sure that each experimenter tests participants in all conditions. Double blind study: both experimenter and participant is blind to the study.
