Variables

Independent Variables Something that an experimenter can manipulate to determine the effect Example Studying the effect of warm temperatures on human behavior Temperature Behavior Environment

Dependent Variables The behavior or object that the observer is trying to measure and is based on the independent variable Example Behavior

Controlled Variables Something that you will be keeping the same during your entire experiment or observation Example Environment

Experimental and Control Group Experimental Group Control Group Members of this group receive the treatment Observe the actual behavior or action based on the independent variable Members of this group do not receive the treatment Baseline data on behavior

Placebo Effect Placebo Placebo Effect Substance or treatment that has no effect on the individual apart from that persons belief that is has an effect Placebo Effect People have a belief that they are getting treatment and will behave as if they are receiving treatment
