experimental studies  

Definition

  • Experiments test the causal relationship between at least one factor (or independent variable) and at least one potentially affected (dependent) variable. Like experiments in the natural sciences, experiments in the social sciences and in media research rely on the comparison of outcomes that follow from different starting conditions.
