The experimental group is the group that is exposed to the independent variable in an experiment. In this case, the independent variable is the magazine reading, and Leslie is trying to see if it affects confidence levels. Therefore, the group that reads the magazine is the experimental group. The control group, on the other hand, is the group that is not exposed to the independent variable and is used for comparison purposes. A confederate group is a group that is working with the experimenter and may influence the results in some way. A confound group is not a commonly used term in experimental design.
