What are the similarities and differences between within-subjects and matched-subjects designs?
 
Within-Subjects and Matched-Subjects Designs

Subhotosh, it only mentions the definitions of within-subjects design and matched-subjects designs. It doesn't talk about the similarities and differences. The within-subjects design is defined as, "A type of correlated-groups design in which the same subjects are used in each condition." The matched-subjects design is defined as, "A type of correlated groups design in which subjects are matched between conditions on variable(s) that the researcher believe is (are) relevant to the study." My textbook is not very good when giving explanations on material or going into detail about the terms.


What does your text-book say?

Now then you need to do some research ...

Start with the following URLs-

but do not end there - use the references cited in Wiki and do further reading. Tell us what you find and we can discuss.
