Field experiments involve manipulating the independent variable and measuring the dependent variable in a natural setting. This is different from laboratory experiments, which are conducted in a controlled and artificial environment. Natural experiments are similar to field experiments, but the independent variable is not manipulated by the experimenter. Extraneous experiment and eco-experiment are not commonly used terms in scientific research.
