What is the key difference between between-subjects and within-subjects designs?
What is the key difference between between-subjects and within-subjects designs?
- Between-subjects designs involve controlling for bias, while within-subjects designs involve controlling for sequence problems
- Matching should always be used instead of random assignment for within-subjects designs
- Random assignment is used for between-subjects designs but not for within-subjects designs
