Operational confound

Operational confound

In design of experiments, a subdiscipline of statistics, an operational confound is a type of confound that can occur in both experimental and nonexperimental research designs. This type of confound occurs when a measure designed to assess a particular construct inadvertently measures something else as well. [Pelham, Brett (2006). "Conducting Research in Psychology".
