Multiple issues orphan February 2009 context October 2009 unreferenced January 2009 An independent measures design is a type of method used during a Psychology Controlled experiments psychology experiment that involves two or more separate groups, each containing different individuals, where each participant only takes part in each condition once. See also Repeated measures design . Advantages of independent measures design One advantage is that more participants are used in the overall experiment, compared to repeated measures design, increasing the external validity . Another advantage is that independent measures only requires one set of participants and one test for each condition of the independent variable. This saves time and is a lot quicker than using a repeated measures design. Disadvantages of independent measures design One of the main disadvantages of using independent measures design is the potential for error resulting from the Individual differences psychology individual differences of the participants, because they do not match those in other groups, which would effect the results and therefore the internal validity and reliability . The participants no longer become a control variable because you are using two different groups of people. It could be said that the results turned out the way they did because of other factors present to each group before the experiment even took place. For Example in group A the average IQ is 120 in group B the average IQ is 118, this is a variable, or individual difference that the experimenter is not aware of. So group A might perform better on average, not due to the independent variable being changed but the individual differences in participants. Category Psychology experiments ... more details

Old measures , or simply measures , were a group of dances performed at ceremonial and festive occasions in Early Modern Britain . Some of the dances included in the measures were the pavane and the almain , and dances such as the galliard and the courante are also mentioned as accompanying or following the traditional measures. The measures are associated with the Inns of Court , the English law schools, as most of the extant sources have been found among the papers of lawyers and law students at the Inns. They are also mentioned in Shakespeare plays such as As You Like It Act V, scene 4 , Richard II play Richard II Act III, scene 4 , Richard III play Richard III Act I, scene 1 .

After hearing that Christianity Christian fans of Kansas were using lyrics from Vinyl Confessions in religious Tract literature tracts and handing them out prior to the band s live appearances, violinist Robby Steinhardt had grown tired of Kansas new Christian affiliation and quit the band at the end of the 1982 tour. Despite the success of Vinyl Confessions, both among mainstream and Christian audiences, the album was criticized in some quarters especially by Rolling Stone for being too repetitive of Kansas prior efforts.
