Be sure to give a one or two sentence summary of <em>how <\/em>you applied the design.<\/p>\n<p>If it\u2019s independent samples, make it clear that half your participants were in one condition and the other half were in the other. You can also explain how you allocated your participants (e.g. random allocation) if you used this.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, if repeated measures was used make it clear that all your participants experienced both conditions. You probably applied <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/2016\/10\/24\/confounding-variables\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">counterbalancing<\/a> too, so don&#8217;t forget to explain this.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Step 3. Why?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>To explain the design identify the potential confounding variable you\u2019re controlling for.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Independent samples = order effects<\/li>\n<li>Repeated measures = participant variability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Order effects<\/strong> occur when doing one condition of an experiment first affects your results in the second condition. Counterbalancing controls for this in repeated measures, but so does independent samples. Make it clear that you understand your results would be affected if participants did both conditions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Participant variability\u00a0<\/strong>refers to the fact that not all participants are identical. The groups might end up naturally different in some regard. For example, you might have older participants in one condition and younger in the other, even though age is not an independent variable you&#8217;re studying. Repeated measures controls for this.<\/p>\n<p>Read more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/2016\/10\/24\/confounding-variables\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">potential confounding variables.<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Random Allocation:\u00a0<\/strong>This is a key component of any experiment. If you&#8217;re using independent samples then random allocation is straightforward. For repeated measures, you can randomly allocate the order of conditions your participants experience (e.g. randomly select who goes Condition A then B, and who has B then A). This helps control for participant variability and researcher bias.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Example<\/strong><\/h3>\n<blockquote><p>Here\u2019s an example taken from my IA example in the IA Teacher Support Pack:<\/p>\n<p><em>We used an independent samples design and had two different groups of participants do each condition. We did this to control for the participant expectancy effect because if participants were to watch both videos and complete the questionnaires, they could have easily figured out the purpose of the study and their answers may have been affected. We could have done repeated measures with each condition on different days, but then there could have been other factors that might affect body dissatisfaction on different days, like what they had done that day or their mood.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Here&#8217;s another example based on a fictional memory enhancing drug I called &#8220;Rememberol.&#8221; <\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_13745\" style=\"width: 592px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13745\" class=\"wp-image-13745\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/01\/Picture1.png?resize=582%2C327&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"582\" height=\"327\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/01\/Picture1.png?w=941&amp;ssl=1 941w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/01\/Picture1.png?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/01\/Picture1.png?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/01\/Picture1.png?resize=100%2C56&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/01\/Picture1.png?resize=906%2C509&amp;ssl=1 906w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 582px) 100vw, 582px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-13745\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Clearly state the design you used, how you applied that design and why.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Remember that the Exploration section of the IA is about showing you understand the choices psychologists have to make when conducting experiments.

Not only is it time consuming and often times a practical impossibility, it gives you a modification to suggest in your evaluation. If you did independent samples, your issue might be participant variability. Matched pairs could address this issue. Similarly, if your procedure was repeated measures you inevitably have an issue with order effects, that can be addressed by counter-balancing but could also be addressed with a matched pairs. Just make sure you are clear about what specific participant characteristic you want to control for (e.g. age, language, gender, etc.) when you explain your limitations and suggest modifications.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can write an excellent explanation of your \u201cdesign\u201d in just three sentences.
