Study Notes
Research Methods Comparison
-
Controlled Experiments: These studies involve manipulating variables in a controlled setting (like a lab) to observe their effects. Researchers carefully manage all aspects to isolate the impact of the manipulated variable.
-
Field Studies: These investigations occur in natural, real-world settings. Researchers observe and collect data without directly manipulating variables. The lack of control allows for greater ecological validity but makes isolating cause-and-effect relationships more challenging.
-
Triangular Comparison: This approach involves comparing data from controlled experiments and field studies to enhance understanding and validity. Combining data from different methodologies helps to overcome limitations of each and provides a more comprehensive perspective. It strengthens findings and identifies potential biases inherent in either method alone.
