Please give me an answer ASAP.
Directions: Explain which part of the study is the Dependent Variable and explain which part is the Independent Variable, and why.
John is interested in studying how people hold their books in the hallway. Some hold them off to the side, others keep their books in their bags, and finally, he notices that some hold their books close to their chest. He has decided to do a study to determine if gender affects how someone holds their books in the hallway.
Independent Variable
Explain:
Dependent Variable
Explain:
Kelly has been dumped four times in two weeks. She is very upset over these occurrences. She decides to get a group of friends together to determine why boys break up with girls. She is convinced that boys break up with girls because of their hair color and height.
Independent Variable
Explain:
Dependent Variable
Explain:
In an experiment to determine whether alcohol causes aggression, experimental subjects would be given a quantity of alcohol and its effects would be measured.
Independent Variable
Explain:
Dependent Variable
Explain:
Notice: Florida State psychologist Roberto Solace is going to be conducting a study on the effects of temperature on aggression. All interested in taking part of the study should contact him before Friday.
Independent Variable
Explain:
Dependent Variable
Explain:
1. IV: gender / DV: how they hold the books
2. i don't know i'm still figuring it out..
3. IV: whether alcohol causes aggression / DV: quantity of alcohol and it’s effects.
4. IV: aggression / DV: the effects of temperature
Remember that the independent variable is the cause and the dependent variable is the effect and what is being measured :)
Sure! I'd be happy to help you identify the independent and dependent variables in each scenario.
In the study on how people hold their books in the hallway, the independent variable is gender. This is because the researcher, John, is interested in determining if gender has an impact on how someone holds their books. The dependent variable is how someone holds their books in the hallway. This is what John will be measuring and observing to see if there are any differences based on gender.
In Kelly's study on why boys break up with girls, the independent variables are hair color and height. Kelly believes that these factors may influence why boys break up with girls. The dependent variable is the occurrence of boys breaking up with girls. This is what Kelly will be investigating to see if there is any correlation with hair color and height.
In the experiment on whether alcohol causes aggression, the independent variable is the quantity of alcohol given to the experimental subjects. This is because the researcher wants to test the effects of alcohol on aggression and is manipulating the dose of alcohol administered. The dependent variable is aggression. The researcher will measure and observe the level of aggression exhibited by the subjects to determine if there is a causal relationship with alcohol consumption.
In the study on the effects of temperature on aggression, the independent variable is the temperature. This is because the psychologist, Roberto Solace, wants to determine if temperature has an impact on aggression levels. The dependent variable is aggression. Roberto will be measuring and observing aggression levels in order to see if there is any relationship with temperature.
I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
The independent variable is controlled by the experimenter.
The dependent variable is a measure of effect for varying the independent variable.
This information is my independent variable, hoping that it helps you to answer your questions (dependent variable).
