A drug researcher wishes to test a new pain medication for safety and effectiveness in treating the pain associated with arthritis. It is decided to test the drug on a treatment group of 17 severely diabled arthritis sufferers in a hospital ward. For the safety portion of the study, the same drug will be administered at the same time to 17 healthy volunteers from the hospital staff. The experiment will be repeated, with the same experimental design, at a number of other hospitals and outpatient clinics across the country. Blocking .Replication
The independent variable is the conditions the participants are assigned to- either the prisoner or the guard. The dependent variable is the participants resulting behavior.
There are numerous biases (e.g., knowing which subjects are assigned to which experimental groups). Most can be avoided by using proper Control procedures (e.g., using a double-blind design) and using proper control groups.
yes, it is.
Control: The experiment should control for variables that could affect the outcome, ensuring that only the manipulated variable is influencing the results. Randomization: Participants should be randomly assigned to different conditions to minimize bias and ensure results are generalizable. Replication: The experiment should be able to be repeated by other researchers to verify the results and ensure reliability.
Complete randomized design is a type of experimental design where treatments are randomly assigned to experimental units. This design allows for unbiased comparisons between treatments and is useful for studying the effects of different factors on an outcome of interest. Randomization helps minimize the effects of confounding variables and increases the internal validity of the study.
to a specific group in an experiment where a particular treatment or intervention is applied. This allows researchers to compare the effects of the treatment to those in a control group. Random assignment helps ensure that participants are equally distributed across conditions, reducing the likelihood of bias in the results.
to the group in which participants are representative of people in general.

Participants in an experimental study receive the treatment. Typically, participants are randomly assigned to either the treatment group, which receives the experimental treatment, or the control group, which does not receive the treatment or receives a standard treatment for comparison.
Random assignment ensures that participants in an experiment have an equal chance of being assigned to different experimental conditions. This helps to control for potential biases and ensures that any differences in outcomes can be attributed to the treatment being tested rather than other factors.
To minimize potential bias in research studies, researchers can use randomization, blinding techniques, and transparent reporting of methods and results. Randomization helps ensure that participants are assigned to groups without bias, blinding techniques prevent researchers and participants from knowing which group they are in, and transparent reporting allows others to assess the study's validity.

Philip Zimbardo's study, known as the Stanford prison experiment, utilized a quasi-experimental research design. Participants were randomly assigned to role-play as prisoners or guards in a simulated prison environment to observe the effects of situational factors on behavior. The study aimed to investigate how individuals conform to assigned social roles and the potential consequences of power dynamics in a controlled setting.
