Experiments involve manipulation, control, and measurement of variables in order to allow for causal inference.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Experiments are designed to manipulate one or more variables (independent variables) in order to observe the effect on another variable (dependent variable) while controlling for other variables that could potentially impact the outcome. This allows for causal inference, where researchers can conclude that the changes in the dependent variable were caused by the changes in the independent variable.
