Participants must be given the right to withdraw at any time,
Participants must be fully informed after the study – of what it was about and where their findings fit.
Participants must agree to take part and having their data used, knowing as mush as possible about the study (they consent, and it is informed consent).
The researcher must be competent to carry out the study..
There must be no deceit – participants must be fully informed.

Write your idea on a post it note and stick on the board.

The research deliberately manipulates the independent variable (change) while maintaining strict control over any other variable.

Weaknesses Unnatural situation –
likely to lack validity (lack ecological validity & mudane realism)
Data lacks depth, detail – reductionist method – by looking at the parts the whole might not be studied – lacks validity
Strengths Rigorous control
over situation & ppts – can repeat -tested for reliability
Controls extraneous variables – few confounding variables
Objective & Scientific (use stats)

The researcher deliberately manipulates the independent variable but does this in the subjects environment

Weaknesses Control over
extraneous variables is harder than lab exp – possibly more confounding variables – lack validity
Ethical issues
Strengths Careful controls –
replicable -tested for reliability
In natural setting - more ecologically valid than lab exp
Less bias from sampling – subjects don’t have to brought to the lab

Cut and sort the statements (there will be one left over)

The independent variable is changed by natural occurrence, the researcher just records the effect on the dependent variable

Weaknesses Lack of control
No cause and effect as IV not being directly manipulated
Difficult to repeat – cant test reliability & generalise
Strengths IV naturally
occuring - Mudane realism & Ecological Validity
Research can be carried out when manipulating the IV would usually be unethical or not practical
