Document Summary
Manipulating variable (independent variable) of interest, while keeping everything. Each member of the population you are interested in has an equal. : anything that may unintentionally vary along with independent variable. Each participant has an equal chance of being assigned to else consistent between different conditions. Random sample: chance of being chosen to participate. *uoft psychology class not a random sample, it is convenience . : group that you want to be able to generalize your findings to. : group of individuals from population who are actually a part of your study. Look a lot like real experiments, but they lack the random. Help researchers study the impact of genetic vs environmental influences. Monozygotic twins raised together vs. raised apart. Evidence that those raised together may be less similar than those raised apart. Impossible to separate genetic influences from environmental influences. They work together to determine human behaviour. Changes in gene expression that are due to non-genetic influences.
