This type of study is known as a double-blind study. It helps to minimize bias by ensuring that neither the experimenter nor the participants can influence the results based on their expectations or knowledge of who is in each group.
A double-blind experiment is one where both the participants and the researchers are unaware of who belongs to the experimental or control group until after the study is completed. This helps eliminate bias in the results by ensuring that neither the participants' nor researchers' expectations influence the outcome.
Double blind experiment.
experimental group
Confounding variable.
The factor is called the independent variable. This is the variable that is deliberately changed by the experimenter in the experimental group to see its effect on the dependent variable.
Participants in an experimental study receive the treatment. Typically, participants are randomly assigned to either the treatment group, which receives the experimental treatment, or the control group, which does not receive the treatment or receives a standard treatment for comparison.
Double blind.
Conducting the study as a double blind. ie. the participants don't know which group they're in but nor does the researcher.
you have to decipher out what exactly it is saying buut... participants that are exposed to the independent variable are in the experimental group and the participants who are treated the same way as the experimental group, except that they are not exposed to the independent variable, make up the control group... any...

Using double-blind procedures where both the experimenter and participants are unaware of the group assignments can help correct for experimenter bias. This helps ensure that the results are not influenced by the experimenter's expectations or behavior. Additionally, having clear operational definitions, standardized protocols, and using randomization can also help minimize experimenter bias.
