Key Concepts

Control Group

The control group in experimental research is the set of participants who do not receive the experimental treatment or manipulation. This group is used as a baseline to compare against the group that does receive the treatment (the experimental group), ensuring that any observed differences can be attributed to the treatment itself. The control group helps enhance the internal validity of the study by ruling out alternative explanations such as external influences or participant characteristics.

Experimental Design

Experimental design refers to the overall strategy and structure used to investigate relationships between variables, including the dual role of control and experimental groups. It involves setting up conditions under which researchers can manipulate an independent variable to observe its effect on a dependent variable, while controlling for extraneous factors that could influence the outcome. This design allows for systematic comparisons, helping researchers draw valid and reliable conclusions about causality.
