Experimental condition in the psychology context refers to the specific environment, set of procedures, and variables that participants in an experiment are exposed to or experience. This condition is deliberately manipulated by researchers to investigate the effects of one or more independent variables on a dependent variable, allowing them to draw conclusions about cause-and-effect relationships. The experimental condition is contrasted with the control condition, where participants are not exposed to the experimental treatment, providing a baseline for comparison.
