The people who receive the treatment being studied. This group is compared with the “control group,” in which people are as much like the experimental group as possible, except that the control group does not receive the treatment.
The group within an experimental design that receives the (potential) effects of the independent variable.
In an experiment, this is the group that is exposed to the independent variable.
a group of individuals receiving the intervention or services being evaluated or studied; this group is compared to a control group.
In studies of causation in a population, a sample of the target population whose members are exposed to C (or know to display E).
A research method involving a carefully designed situation in which the researcher studies the impact of certain variables on subjects' attitudes or behaviour.
A group of test subjects who undergo a specific experimental procedure. The results of the testing of the experimental group are then compared and contrasted with the results of a "control group" to better formulate or understand a given hypothesis.
A group in an experimental design that receives the treatment or program.
The group in an experiment that receives the experimental treatment in contrast to the control group, used for comparison, which does not receive the treatment. Synonym: test group.
that segment of an experimental study population that receives the treatment being tested.
the trial participants who do receive the experimental treatment
a group of people who receive the intervention Randomisation is the chance assignment of groups to experimental or control conditions The more rigorous the evaluation research design the more certain we can be in our interpretation of the results
The group in an experimental design that receives the treatment. The experimental group is needed to receive the treatment under investigation and has to be matched with control group in terms of age, abilities, race, etc.
describes the participants who receive the intervention being studied. This group is compared with the control group, in which participants are as much like the experimental group as possible, except that the control group participants do not receive the treatment. F (Back to Top)
in an experiment, the group exposed to the variable or condition. (back)
A group receiving some treatment in an experiment. Data collected about people in the experimental group are compared with data about people in a control group (who received no treatment) and/or another experimental group (who received a different treatment).
The group of Participants in a Clinical Trial that receives the new Treatment being tested.
The group of subjects in a research study which receives the experimental treatment.
The group that is treated with the product that is being tested
also called intervention group, this is a group of research subjects that receives some form of treatment or intervention. See: comparison group, control group.
In a randomized clinical trial, the group receiving the treatment being evaluated for safety and efficacy. The experimental treatment may be a new technology, an existing technology applied to a new problem, or an accepted treatment about whose safety or efficacy there is doubt. Compare control group.
A group of subjects assigned to receive a treatment (independent variable), the effects of which are measured (dependent variable). Often comparisons are made between these effects and those observed for a comparison or control (nontreatment) group.
Part of a scientific experiment which receives the independent variable treatment.
The arm of a randomized trial which gets the new or experimental treatment.
the group of study participants who receive the new experimental treatment.
The group of subjects in an experimental study receiving treatment(s).
A group of subjects who undergo a specific experimental procedure. Often results from this group are compared with those of a control group.
The group of subjects in an experimental study which receives a treatment. Ff
The group in an experimental design study that receives treatment in the form, or in various forms, of the independent variable. This group can thus be compared to the control group.
Study participants who receive the new drug, device, procedure, or prevention that is being researched. This group is often compared to a 'control group', which does not receive the new drug, device, procedure, or prevention.
The group of subjects in a scientific study that receives a treatment or tests the hypothesis.
A group of individuals participating in the program activities or receiving the program services being evaluated or studied. Experimental groups (also known as treatment groups) are usually compared to a control or comparison group.
A group of participants who are given an identical task as the control group except for one feature. This single feature is present in the task given to the experimental group but not in the task given to the control group.
In an experimental design contrasting two groups, that group of subjects given the treatment whose effect is under investigation. See also control group.
