Answer to Question 1

The advantage of matching groups of participants in a between-subjects experiment is that it is a relatively easy way to ensure that specific variables do not become confounding variables. The disadvantages of matching include: a) the measurement procedure adds another level of work to the study, b) it can be difficult to match groups on several different variables simultaneously, c) groups cannot be matched on every single variable that might differentiate participants.

Answer to Question 2

False
