Sixth, the research method of health psychology-experimental method (understanding)
Advantages:
1. The researcher is in an active position in the experiment, and can cause or change some psychological phenomena that need to be studied urgently in a planned way, instead of passively waiting for them to happen naturally;
2. The experimenter can control accidental factors, eliminate the pollution of irrelevant variables to the experimental results, make careful observation, obtain quantitative results, and reveal the causal relationship between variables;
3. The experimental method is repeatable and verifiable, which meets the requirements of scientific research that can be verified or falsified.
Disadvantages:
Due to the thinking and control of experimental methods, the external validity of experiments and the representativeness and applicability of experimental results are often limited. Experimental methods often reveal the role of a single factor or several factors under specific conditions, but the complexity and variability of real life are far from the strictly controlled conditions in the laboratory, so the experimental results cannot be completely equivalent to the imagination of daily behavior outside the laboratory.
