Chapter 2 discussed different methods of gathering information for studies, specifically experimental designs. I was especially attracted to the idea of studies being double-blind. This meaning that both the researcher and participants are not aware of who is in the control or experimental groups. One might think, how could this be a good thing? But this concept helps eliminate any potential biases from the experiment.

I totally agree with you. Eliminating bias=more accurate cause and effect relationships. Thank god for double blind!
