A between-subjects experimental design involves assigning participants to different conditions or groups, with each participant experiencing only one condition. An example would be a study on the effects of caffeine on mood, where participants are randomly assigned to either consume caffeine or a placebo. The data is then analyzed by comparing the dependent variable (mood) between the groups.
Randomization in experimental design involves assigning participants to conditions using a random process like a coin flip rather than any systematic method. This helps ensure the groups are equivalent and differences found are actually due to the independent variable being manipulated rather than some other factor. Failing to randomize risks introducing confounding variables that could influence the results.
