Within Subject Repeated Measure Design

Within-subjects or repeated measures designs involve comparing different treatment conditions by measuring the same group of participants, allowing for the elimination of individual differences. While these designs require fewer participants and provide more control, they also face disadvantages such as time-related issues, order effects, and the Hawthorne Effect, which can influence participant behavior. Overall, this design is useful for observing changes over time and assessing treatment impacts within the same individuals.

Repeated Measure

Design
Within-subjects/repeated Measure designs

 a within subjects experimental design compares two or


more different treatment conditions (or compares
treatment and control) by observing or measuring the
same group of individuals in all of the treatment
conditions being compared

 a within-subjects design looks for differences between


treatment conditions within the same group of
participants

 a within subjects design is often called a repeated-


measures design because the research study repeats
measurements of the same individuals under different
conditions

 it is used in experimental situations comparing different


treatment conditions and also to investigate changes
occurring over time
Advantages and disadvantages of within-subjects
designs
 Advantages of within-subjects designs
 it requires relatively few participants
 it essentially eliminated all of the problems based on
individual differences that are the primary concern
of a between-subjects designs
 a within-subjects design has no differences between
groups
 each individual serves as his or her own control or
baseline
 Disadvantages
 time-related problems
 participant attrition
 history
 any outside events that occur during the time that a
within-subjects experiment is being conducted and has an
influence on the participants’ scores
 maturation
 any physiological or psychological changes that occur in a
participant during the time a within-subjects experiment
is conducted and that can influence the participants’
scores (e.g. young children)
 Disadvantages
 time-related problems (cont.)
 instrumentation
 refers to changes in the measurement instrument that
occur over time (e.g. observer changes)
 order effects
 carryover effects
 changes in behavior or performance that are caused by
participation in an earlier treatment condition
 carryover effects exist whenever one treatment condition
produces a change in the participants that affects their
scores in subsequent treatment conditions (e.g. new skill
from treatment 1 can influence results in treatment 2)
 progressive error
 changes in participant's behavior or performance that are
related to experience over time in a research study but
not related to a specific treatment or treatments (e.g.
practice effects and fatigue)

 The Hawthorne Effect : is the process


where human subjects of
an experiment change their behavior, simply
because they are being studied.
