Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that an independent-groups design involves different participants being assigned to each condition or group in the experiment.
Recall that in psychology research designs, when participants are in separate groups and do not experience more than one condition, this is called a 'between-subjects' design.
Contrast this with 'repeated-measures' or 'within-subjects' designs, where the same participants take part in all conditions.
Also note that 'matched-pairs' design is a type of independent-groups design where participants are paired based on certain characteristics before being assigned to different groups.
Therefore, the independent-groups design is synonymous with the 'between-subjects' design.
