Detailed explanation-1: -A two-group design is when a researcher divides his or her subjects into two groups and then compares the results. The two groups usually consist of a control group, who does not get the treatment, and a treatment or experimental group, who does get the treatment.
Detailed explanation-2: -Independent Groups Design Where different participants take part in each experimental condition (they will be allocated randomly). Strengths. Order effects cannot be observed, as no participants will be used in more than one condition.
Detailed explanation-3: -Independent measures design, also known as between-groups, is an experimental design where different participants are used in each condition of the independent variable. This means that each condition of the experiment includes a different group of participants.
Detailed explanation-4: -A between-subjects design is also called an independent measures or independent-groups design because researchers compare unrelated measurements taken from separate groups.
