Research in the Real World “Experimentation in the laboratory occurs, socially speaking, on an island quite isolated from the life of society” - Kurt Lewin

Research in the Real World Limitations of Experimental Research?  Ethical  Practical/Logical  Realistic

Research in the Real World Internal Validity - The degree to which a cause-effect relationship between two variables has been unambiguously established, or the degree to which a study allows unambiguous causal inferences.

Research in the Real World External Validity - The degree to which a study ensures that potential findings apply to settings and samples other than the ones being studied.

Research in the Real World Ecological Validity - The degree to which an effect has been obtained under conditions that are typical for what happens in everyday life.
