Particular type of research study chosen for a project

Investigates IV & DV relationship while controlling other variables

Group exposed to the independent variable

Establishes baseline level without exposure to IV

Each participant has equal chance of being in any group

Participants in EITHER control OR experimental condition

ALL participants complete BOTH conditions

Investigation of particular activity/behaviour/event

Correlation does NOT prove one variable causes another

Both variables increase or decrease together
