Experimental Design
-
-
Matched pairs design Participants are matched on important characteristics such as age and IQ and are split up across each condition
Advantages
Controls the participant variables such as IQ as the participants are matched unlike in an independent group design
There are no order effects as the participants only partake in one condition unlike in a repeated measures design
Disadvantages
Can be time consuming to match up participants, so would have to draw participants from a large pool unlike with a repeated measures design
Difficult to completely match participants on important characteristics, so participant variables may still have an effect
