Description
Until recently, most psychological research was conducted using subject samples in close proximity to the investigators--namely university
undergraduates. In recent years, however, it has become possible to test people from all over the world by placing experiments on the
internet. The number of people using the internet for this purpose is likely to become the main venue for subject pools in coming years.
As such, learning about experiments on the internet will be of vital interest to all research psychologists.Psychological Experiments
on the Internet is divided into three sections. Section I discusses the history of web experimentation, as well as the advantages,
disadvantages, and validity of web-based psychological research. Section II discusses examples of web-based experiments on individual
differences and cross-cultural studies. Section III provides readers with the necessary information and techniques for utilizing the
internet in their own research designs.
Audience
Research psychologists across all disciplines.
