Research settings vary based on the type of research one is conducting.Distinguish between laboratory research and field research.List an advantage and disadvantage of each.

Laboratory research,as the name suggests,refers to research conducted in a laboratory setting,whereas field research refers to studies conducted in the natural environment.Laboratory research typically offers more definitive support for theories than does research conducted in the field.An advantage of laboratory research is that extraneous variables may be controlled to a greater extent than would be possible with field research.A disadvantage is that people typically don't behave how they normally would because they know they are being watched.On the other hand,an advantage of field research is that researchers tend to be more confident that participants' behavior is reflective of their actual behavior and not influenced by variables within the laboratory setting or knowing that they are being observed.A disadvantage,however,is that in field studies,there is normally not much control over unwanted influences as there is in laboratory studies.
