Hi ali,
Thanks for your message! What if you are not controlling for them? What if,
in fact, you are not aware of such variables?
I know that what I'm looking for could be also framed as external or
extraneous variables, but that doesn't tell much about whether such
variables are a result of particular experimental procedures or maybe
characteristics of the participants. I also came across 'situational
variables', but these seem to refer more to the environment in which the
experiments are conducted.
I'm not sure!
Best,
Arthur
