Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Experimental research involves manipulating one variable (the independent variable) while controlling for all other variables (the dependent variable). To determine the effect of the independent variable, researchers compare the responses of at least two groups: an experimental group (which receives the treatment or manipulation) and a control group (which does not receive the treatment or manipulation). By comparing the responses of these two groups, researchers can determine the effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable.
