Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A field experiment studies people's natural responses in a real-world setting while still manipulating an independent variable. This allows for a balance between control and naturalism. Option A (natural experiment) is incorrect because it does not involve manipulation of the independent variable. Option C (counterbalanced experiment) is incorrect because it involves balancing the order of presentation of different conditions, rather than manipulating an independent variable. Option D (time series experiment) is incorrect because it involves studying a variable over time rather than manipulating an independent variable.
