AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The independent variable is “controlled” or held constant in the control group. A single experiment may include multiple experimental groups, which may all be compared against the control group.

Detailed explanation-2: -An independent variable is the variable you manipulate or vary in an experimental study to explore its effects. It’s called “independent” because it’s not influenced by any other variables in the study. Independent variables are also called: Explanatory variables (they explain an event or outcome)

Detailed explanation-3: -An experimental group, also known as a treatment group, receives the treatment whose effect researchers wish to study, whereas a control group does not. They should be identical in all other ways.

Detailed explanation-4: -An experimental group is the group that receives the variable being tested in an experiment. The control group is the group in an experiment that does not receive the variable you are testing.

Detailed explanation-5: -What are the two groups in experimental design? The two groups typically are a treatment group and a control group. The treatment group, also known as the experimental group, receives the treatment that the researcher is evaluating. The control group, on the other hand, does not receive the treatment.
