Question

Disadvantages of using a related sample (either one sample of participants with repeated measures or two matched samples) versus using two independent samples include which of the following? Check all that apply.
A study that uses related samples to compare two drugs (specifically, one sample of participants with repeated measures) can have a carryover and/or order effect such that the efects of the drug taken before the first measurement may not wear off before the second measurement.
Related samples (specifically, one sample of participants with repeated measures) can have an order effect such that a change observed between one measurement and the next might be attributable to the order in which the measurements were taken rather than to a treatment effect.
Related samples have less sample variance, increasing the likelihood of rejecting the null hypothesis if it is false (that is, increasing power). caused by individual differend gender, or personality.

Answer 1

Answer: The disadvantage of using a related sample is that "A study that uses related samples to compare two drugs (specifically, one sample of participants with repeated measures) can have a carryover and/or order effect such that the efects of the drug taken before the first measurement may not wear off before the second measurement".

Step-by-step explanation: Related sample is when a particular sample or two sample that are the same is used to study an effect.

The carryover effect is one of the major disadvantages of using a related sample. Because when a first treatment is applied, their is a tendency of it not being fully consumed or it's effect not being fully neutralized before the second treatment is applied. This will increase error in the result, because in a drugs intake for instance, the drug taken at a particular time may not be the one that cure a sickness, but the drug that was previously taken. But the study will assume the drug taken a that particular moment to be the cure of that sickness.
