I believe the answer is: Known-groups paradigm

A study is considered to have Known-groups paradigm if the researchers understand that the measure that they take will discriminate a certain groujp of subjects because of their known behavior.

From the case above Dr. Sheffield create a test to determine whether the subject unable to resist impulses to gamble.

The subjects that he use is <u>a group of ex-gamblers</u> who acknowledge they have a gambling problem (gamblers anonymous) and a group of ex-alcoholic who acknowledge they have drinking problem (AA).  We can say with high certainty that dr. Sheffield <u>knew really well that people on GA will have higher scores.</u> He just want to how big is the difference compared to the scores from AA group.
