(120178) 2003 OP32, designing psychological experiments


(120178) 2003 OP32 is related with the design of experiments for psychological research.

In order to establish a causal relationship between the stimulus and the response of the subject, the experiment must be designed in such a way that all other variables have been eliminated or controlled, which is easy to achieve in a laboratory. However, through this way, it is more difficult for the results to be extrapolated, because they are restricted to an artificial situation far from real life.

On the other hand, when analyzing statistical results of natural situations, factors can be isolated to find correlations between variables that increase or decrease their value jointly, although a causal relationship between them can not be established.
