Specific examples of the application of laboratory experiments in psychology:
1) Group response experiments: for example, Critchfield’s experiments on group pressure on a person, where a social situation is simulated to force a person to make a certain decision.
2) Learning-related experiments: for example, placing students in a realistic learning environment to study the effects of different teaching methods.
3) Experiments with the work environment: modeling working conditions or environmental pressures to study employee reactions: burnout or coping strategies.
