Scientific MethodScientific Method
Theory- general framework for scientific Theory- general framework for scientific study, has smaller parts which can be testedstudy, has smaller parts which can be tested
Hypothesis- statement of the results the Hypothesis- statement of the results the experimenter expects (prediction)experimenter expects (prediction)
Subjects- people or animals on whom a Subjects- people or animals on whom a study is conductedstudy is conducted
Random Sampling/Assignment- a sample of Random Sampling/Assignment- a sample of subjects that fairly represents a population subjects that fairly represents a population because each member has an equal chance because each member has an equal chance of inclusion and the sample has people of of inclusion and the sample has people of various ages, races, socioeconomic class, various ages, races, socioeconomic class, location, etc.location, etc.

the experimenter did not think aboutthe experimenter did not think about Independent Variable- the factor that the Independent Variable- the factor that the
experimenter manipulates or changes in a experimenter manipulates or changes in a studystudy– It is independent of everything else in the studyIt is independent of everything else in the study
Dependent Variable- the factor in a study Dependent Variable- the factor in a study that changes as a result of changes in the that changes as a result of changes in the independent variableindependent variable– Depends on the independent variableDepends on the independent variable
Lunatic ExperimentLunatic Experiment
Does a full moon Does a full moon reallyreally make people CrAzY? make people CrAzY? We would compare mental hospital We would compare mental hospital
admission rates for 10 days before and after admission rates for 10 days before and after a full moona full moon
Hypothesis- will rates increase, decrease, or Hypothesis- will rates increase, decrease, or remain the same over a full moon period?remain the same over a full moon period?
Subjects- People who are admitted to the Subjects- People who are admitted to the mental hospital during our experiment time mental hospital during our experiment time periodperiod

Any hidden variables we might not have Any hidden variables we might not have accounted for?accounted for?
Full moon was over a weekend. Hospital Full moon was over a weekend. Hospital admissions always drop over the weekend so this admissions always drop over the weekend so this showed that admissions went down.showed that admissions went down.
