Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A repeated measures design involves measuring the same group of individuals before and after an intervention, which is the case in this scenario with the children being measured for aggressive behavior before and after watching the aggressive cartoon. Independent groups design involves having two separate groups with no overlap, while extraneous groups involve a separate control group that does not receive the intervention. Random time series design involves measuring behavior at multiple random time points rather than before and after a specific intervention.
