A researcher tested 40 6-year-old children. Each child engaged in a task where they had to use two dolls (one representing themselves and one representing a teacher) to enact a time when their teacher had been angry with them. All children were videotaped and 20 children were told that their teacher would see the tape and 20 were not. What experimental design has been used?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is a between-subject design because there are two separate groups of participants, and each group receives a different condition (one group is told their teacher will see the tape, the other is not). In a between-subject design, different participants are used in each condition of the experiment, which is the case here.
