Question

A team of researchers is conducting a study to see if videogame experts respond differently to various types of pictures compared to non-experts. They show each group of participants violent and nonviolent images and compare the skin conductance response to each category of picture. Which design best describes the example study?

Answer 1

The answer is experimental design.

Step-by-step explanation:

In experimental designs, the researchers have control over all the factors of the research. It also allows researches to make predictions about the results and analyse the effects of the variables once the experiments have been carried out.

In this case, the researches are attempting to test the effects of showing both violent and non-violent images (independent variable) to expert and non-expert, in order to see the results (dependent variable).
