Question Checkpoint
A psychologist conducted a research study to investigate the implications of
providing caregivers with training designed to increase their sensitivity.
Twenty caregivers were randomly assigned to the group receiving training to
increase their sensitivity. The remaining twenty, a control group, received no
such training.
The findings were that caregivers in receipt of sensitivity training were
rated as more sensitive than caregivers in the control group. For children
around the age of two, those in the care of the caregivers who received the
sensitivity training were more secure in their attachments than those who
were cared for by the control group. The researcher concluded the findings
were directly due to the sensitivity training.
(a)Which experimental design was used in this study? (1 mark)
