staff were only allowed to intervene when there
was a risk of safety (so that their behaviour
didn't effect the study)

uses various research methods.
lab experiments are typically used for EWT.
field experiments are
succeptable to effects via
extraneous variables
less controlled
experiments are
considered the most
scientific tool used in
psychology because they
propose testable
hypotheses and gather
empirical data using
objective methods
