In this section, we will first stress the fact that experimental research must be based on a research question that makes it possible to formulate precise hypotheses. We will then see that in order to empirically assess a hypothesis, an experimental study must manipulate variables of interest while controlling other variables, which may influence the outcome of the experiment. Finally, we will discuss some methodological aspects of data collection, so that they can be analyzed through the use of statistics. These points will be elaborated in detail in the chapters dedicated to these different aspects.
