27
Aims at establishing quantified relationships and explanatory theory through the analysis of responses under various controlled conditions and the synthesis of adequate theoretical accounts from the results of these observations.
Experimental Psychology
27
The scientific study of behavior, motives, or cognition in a laboratory or other controlled setting in order to predict, explain, or influence behavior or other psychological phenomena.
Experimental Psychology
27
He conducted his famous **Bobo doll experiment,** which demonstrated the effects of observation on aggressive behavior.
Albert Bandura
28
A research design in which a causal relationship is investigated by manipulating an independent variable and measuring a dependent variable, while other variables are held constant.
Experimental Research
29
A group of participants in an experiment who are exposed to a particular manipulation of the independent variable.
**Experimental Group** (Treatment Group)
30
A comparison group of participants in an experiment who receive no intervention or are not exposed to the manipulation of the independent variable
Control Group
31
The variable in a causal relationship that is hypothesized to influence the dependent variable and that is manipulated in experimental research.
**Independent Variable** (Treatment Variable)
32
The variable in a causal relationship that is hypothesized to be influenced by the independent variable
Dependent Variable
33
The joint effect of two or more independent variables on a dependent variable beyond the sum of their individual effects; the effect of one independent variable depends on the level of the other independent variable.
Interaction Effect
34
The variable that is observed to change as a result of a change in the predictor **(independent)** variable and expresses the result of an association
Outcome Variable
35
The variable in an association that is used to estimate or forecast a result or outcome.
Predictor Variable
36
Variables that are unrelated to the research question but that might affect the dependent variable.
Extraneous Variables
37
An **uncontrolled third variable** that may account for the relationship between a predictor variable and an outcome variable, or between an independent variable and a dependent variable.
Confounding Variables
38
A **representative subset of a larger population** that is selected for study with the aim of drawing conclusions about the population
Sample
39
A process that ensures every participant has an equal chance of being placed in an experimental or a control group in the study to maximize the likelihood that any observable changes in the dependent variable are due to the independent variable and not individual differences.
Random Assignment
40
Most basic experimental design
Two-group Design

Can be crudely defined as a set of related statements that explains a variety of occurrences
Theory
49
Provides a framework for the systematic and orderly display of data—that is, it serves as a convenient way for the scientist to organize data.
