SOC 104 Chapter Notes - Chapter 5: Santa Barbara City College, Factorial Experiment, Space Bar
Document Summary
For experimental designs, the influence of common-causal variables is controlled and thus removed by creating equivalence between the participants in each of the experimental conditions before manipulation factorial research designs: Social psychological experiments are often designed to study the effects of more than one independent variable on a dependent variable at the same time factorial. Factorial designs also indicate the person to the situation through touch. Then the study participants took on a challenge in which they felt they were competing with another student. Participants were told to push the space bar of the machine as soon as they heard a sound over their ears, and the person who pushed the button the fastest would be the trial winner. Before the first session, the participants set the level of a white noise blast that would be applied to the loser. The participants may choose an intensity ranging from 0 (no noise) to the most aggressive response (10 or 105 decibels).
