Its against both the ethics and APA guidelines to do an experiment just to see what happens. you have to have a clear understand of what you think will happen and why you are doing the experiment. Failing to do so will discredit your research and your reputation. It will also get you in trouble with the apa and the people who gave you your grant money.
as for variables, to mix this chemical to make that chemical has very few variable. Take something as complex as human behavior and you get far more variables than just mixing 2 chemicals. Reducing all the variable takes time and a succession of studies. Each study takes it one step closer to getting the “right” answer. Take pav’s dog that was amazing study that reduced all variables. That got stim, response, conditioned response…etc then skinner came along with his rat boxes and got more complex. punishment and rewards and its pros and cons. Who is next?
