True Experiments Experimental Confounds
Experimental Confounds Experimental Confounds Something other than the property of interest varies systematically along with the IV Other factor could also have influenced the DV
Experimental Confounds Procedural confounds Manipulating more than one variable Operational confounds Manipulating more than one construct
Experimental Confounds Procedural confounds Example: A researcher wants to know whether the age of a victim influences the likelihood of a witness coming forward The researcher stages a small car accident in a parking lot in which a driver hits the bumper of a parked car and then drives away. Shortly after, the owner of the car returns to find the damage For half of the unsuspecting witnesses, the owner of the car is a young girl (22 yrs) while, for the other half, the owner is an older man (55 yrs) A higher percentage of witnesses approach the young victim with the details of the accident compared with the older victim Are these results valid?
Experimental Confounds Operational confounds Example: A researcher wants to know whether a person’s body satisfaction is influenced by body exposure (i.e., how much of their body is uncovered). The researcher randomly assigns participants to one of 3 different groups who are each asked to try on a different type of clothing. One group is asked to try on a fashionable business suit, one group is asked to wear a pair of shorts and a tank-top, and the third group is asked to wear a revealing swim suit.  While participants are wearing the clothes, the researcher asks them a series of questions in order to determine their current levels of body satisfaction. The results indicate that body satisfaction was lower among those wearing the more revealing clothing. The researcher concludes that people become less satisfied with their body when they can see more of it. Are these results valid?
