         <description><![CDATA[<div>A variable is anything that can vary (anything within bounds of what is feasible and ethical). Experiments aim to manipulate an independent variable, measure changes in the dependent variable, and control (minimize the effect of) all other variables. An experiment has at least 2 different groups- experiment group and a comparison/control group. Random assignment works to equate the groups before any treatment effects. in this way, an experiment tests the effect of at least one variable compares the features of psychology's research methods. </div>]]></description>
