Describe how journals devoted to experimental and theoretical versus applied research differ in the nature of the articles they publish
What will be an ideal response?
Although it is not true all the time, experimental, theoretical research is more likely to take place in laboratories than applied research is. In additional, applied research is more likely to be descriptive or correlational than experimental.
The participants often differ in the two types of research. Theoretical research typically involves convenience samples of college students; applied research often targets groups specifically relevant to the research question being asked. Further, there are often fewer participants in the experimental, laboratory-based studies; applied research often includes notably larger samples.
Laboratory-based studies predominate in experimental, theoretical research, with statistical analysis featuring analysis of variance. Applied, non-laboratory studies rely more often on correlational statistics.
