![Page 5: Ch. 7 finish and review](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061210/5491abf9ac79592a288b45be/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Review:
• Control during the experiment– Counterbalancing within-participants
designs
– Controlling for participant effects– Controlling for experimenter effects
![Page 6: Ch. 7 finish and review](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061210/5491abf9ac79592a288b45be/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Counterbalancing
• Used to control for sequencing effects in a repeated measures (aka within-subjects) design
• Sequencing effects occur when participants participate in more than one condition
• Two types of sequencing effects– Order effect– Carryover effect
![Page 7: Ch. 7 finish and review](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061210/5491abf9ac79592a288b45be/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Counterbalancing Techniques
• Randomized counterbalancing• Intrasubject counterbalancing
• Complete counterbalancing• Incomplete counterbalancing
individual
group
![Page 8: Ch. 7 finish and review](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061210/5491abf9ac79592a288b45be/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Counterbalancing
• Order effect– “Arises from the order in which treatment
conditions are administered to participants”– Treatment/experiment exposure can influence
performance on subsequent tasks and measures– Most common:• Practice effect• fatigue
![Page 9: Ch. 7 finish and review](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061210/5491abf9ac79592a288b45be/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Counterbalancing
• Carryover effect– Performance in one condition is affected by the
condition that precedes it– Example: Participant receives active drug before
the placebo, and the residual effects are still present during placebo condition
• One strategy: “wash-out” period
![Page 10: Ch. 7 finish and review](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061210/5491abf9ac79592a288b45be/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Types of Counterbalancing
• Randomized counterbalancing– Sequence order is randomly determined for each
individual– Just like random assignment to conditions– You do not decide the sequence, must use a random process to decide
order
![Page 11: Ch. 7 finish and review](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061210/5491abf9ac79592a288b45be/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Types of Counterbalancing
• Intrasubject Counterbalancing– When each participant receives all levels of the IV
more than one time– Have participants take conditions first in one
order, then again in the reverse order
– Disadvantage: Participant burden is increased• Must complete each condition more than once
![Page 12: Ch. 7 finish and review](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061210/5491abf9ac79592a288b45be/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Types of Counterbalancing
• Complete and Incomplete counterbalancing– Group counterbalancing– Determine possible sequences– Randomly assign to sequence such that sequences
are distributed across groups rather than individuals
![Page 13: Ch. 7 finish and review](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061210/5491abf9ac79592a288b45be/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Participant Effects
• Demand characteristics– Cues in the experiment that might influence
participant behavior
• Positive self-presentation– Motivation for participants to present themselves
in a positive light
![Page 14: Ch. 7 finish and review](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061210/5491abf9ac79592a288b45be/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Control of Participant Effects
• Deception– Giving participants a bogus rationale for the
experiment
• Can range from minor deceit to more elaborate schemes
Classic example: Milgram studies
![Page 15: Ch. 7 finish and review](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061210/5491abf9ac79592a288b45be/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Control of Participant Interpretation
• Previously discussed methods provide good control for demand characteristics of study
• But how do we know what participants’ perceptions of our study are?– Ask them!
![Page 16: Ch. 7 finish and review](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061210/5491abf9ac79592a288b45be/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Control of Participant Interpretation
• Retrospective Verbal Reports: after experiment– Disadvantage: Participants might forget
perceptions by the end of the study
• Concurrent Verbal Reports: during experiment– Solomon’s Sacrifice Groups– Concurrent probing– Think-aloud technique
![Page 17: Ch. 7 finish and review](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061210/5491abf9ac79592a288b45be/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Control of Experimenter Effects
• Experimenter effects– The biasing influence that can be exerted by the
experimenter
• Data Recording errors--control– Be careful– Multiple observers and data recorders– Keep experimenter blind to participants’ conditions– Electronic or mechanical data recording*
![Page 18: Ch. 7 finish and review](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061210/5491abf9ac79592a288b45be/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Control of Experimenter Effects
• Experimenter Attribute Errors– Some experimenters, because of their attributes,
produce more of an effect than other experimenters
• Control technique:– Experimenters should run all conditions– Experimenters same on characteristics that might
affect DV
![Page 19: Ch. 7 finish and review](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061210/5491abf9ac79592a288b45be/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Control of Experimenter Effects
• Experimenter Expectancy Errors– Experimenter’s expectations about the study
influence participant responses
Control techniques:• Blind technique• Partial blind technique• Automation
![Page 20: Ch. 7 finish and review](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061210/5491abf9ac79592a288b45be/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Ideal:Control Participant AND Experimenter Effects
• Double-Blind Placebo Method– Participant and experimenter blind to condition– “Devise manipulations that appear essentially
identical to research participants in all conditions”– Example: Compare drug to identical sugar pill
(placebo)

A note
• Choosing the correct statistical test for a study– Not on this exam, but it’s coming up– Just practicing for now
![Page 24: Ch. 7 finish and review](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061210/5491abf9ac79592a288b45be/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Experimental Designs
• Weak vs. Strong– Differences?
• Between-participants vs. within-participants
• Let the name guide you– (E.g., one-group, posttest-only)– Is is a weak or a strong design? What information
do you get from the design?
![Page 25: Ch. 7 finish and review](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061210/5491abf9ac79592a288b45be/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Let’s try some examples
1. You want to examine the impact of the use of PowerPoint slides in class on class attendance in male and female students. Students are randomly assigned to a psychology class with low, moderate, or high use of PPT slides.– IV(s)– DV– Strong or weak?– Between or within?– Which type of research design?
![Page 26: Ch. 7 finish and review](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061210/5491abf9ac79592a288b45be/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

What effects do we see?Is there a main effect of gender on class attendance?Is there a main effect of PPT use on class attendance?Is there an interaction effect of gender and PPT use on class attendance?
![Page 27: Ch. 7 finish and review](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061210/5491abf9ac79592a288b45be/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Example 22. Bob wants to know if nicotine patches really help people quit
smoking. He identifies 100 people who have smoked at least a pack per day for 10 years or more and who want to quit. Bob randomly assigns participants to either wear a nicotine patch for 1 month or to not wear a patch. At the end of the month, participants are asked how many cigarettes they smoke daily.– IV(s)– DV– Strong or weak?– Between or within?– Which type of research design?

Example 3
• A group of psychologists are testing a new therapy with a group of clients experiencing complex grief after the death of a partner. They obtain patient ratings of grief, administer the new therapy for 6 weeks, and then obtain grief ratings again. They find that the mean grief rating is 10 points lower after completion of the new therapy.
• This is an example of which experimental design?• Why?• Is this a weak or strong design? Why?– What would make it a stronger design?
