Studies with High Ecological Validity

Piliavin (Subway Samaritans)

This experiment has high ecological validity because it is set in the field (the New York Subway) and participants do not know they are in an experiment.

Rosenhan (Sane in insane places)

Again this study is high in Ecological Validity because it is set in a real life hospital and the hospital staff do not know they are being observed.
