random assignment
Random assignment ensures that bias does not cause differences in representative samples divided into experimental and control groups.
In an ideal experimental design, the control and experimental groups are designed to be as similar as possible, with the only difference being the specific treatment or intervention that the experimental group receives. This helps to isolate the effect of the treatment and minimize the impact of other variables on the outcome of the study.
In a scientific study, the control group is a set of subjects that does not receive the treatment being studied, used for comparison to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment on the experimental group.
the control group does not receive receive an experimental treatment but stay in the same environment.
The purpose of experimental research in psychology is to systematically investigate cause-and-effect relationships between variables. By conducting experiments, researchers can control for potential confounding variables and establish a more definitive understanding of the factors that influence human behavior and mental processes. This allows for the development and testing of theories to advance psychological knowledge.
control group
experimental control
The experimental control is what you compare your experimental data with. Without the control, you can't tell if the variable you are testing is what is causing your results.
All properly-designed experiments should have some sort of control.
Double blind experiment.
experimental control
The control group serves as a baseline for comparison with the experimental group. It does not receive the experimental treatment or intervention, allowing researchers to measure the effect of the treatment by comparing the results of the control group to those of the experimental group.

control group
When doing experiments you have to have a control group and an experimental group. The control group is not given a drug (for example), while the experimental group is. This will show (later on) if the drug had a real effect. Sometimes the control group will be given what is called a placebo. This looks just like the drug that the experimental group is given, except it has nothing in it.
