In a between-subjects design, some participants are exposed to the experimental treatment (experimental group), while others are not exposed to the treatment (control group). The control group serves as a baseline for comparison, providing a comparison point to determine the effect of the treatment. The experimental group experiences the treatment, and the results are compared to the control group. Therefore, the participants who are not exposed to the experimental treatment in a between-subjects design are the control group.
