Experimental Methods
Lund Social Sciences Methods Centre
Experimental methods in the social sciences are invaluable for gaining a deep understanding of human behaviour, cognition, and social interaction. They offer a rigorous way to test hypotheses, establish causal relationships, and build explanatory models that hold significant theoretical and applied importance.
The experimental methods pillar brings together researchers with an interest in quantitative approaches to consolidate, share, and enhance expertise spanning a spectrum of methodologies. These include:
- lab-based and natural setting experiments
- controlled trials
- longitudinal studies
- designs emphasizing within- and between-subject comparisons
- standardized tests
- mediation and moderation
- multivariate analytical techniques
- eye-tracking
- neuroimaging
- and psychophysiological tools
