1- Scenario A. A researcher is interested in understanding how a company’s work from home policy will influence worker productivity, so she compares two companies. Company 1, Vance Refrigeration, allows employees to work from home only 3 days per week. Company 2, Dunder Mifflin Paper Company, has a policy in which employees can choose to work either 100% from home or 100% in the office. Employees who have elected to work from home cannot work in the office and vice versa.
a) What is the independent variable for Scenario A?
Group of answer choices
The work from home policy
The type of company
Employee productivity
The office layout (floorplan)
The employees at the company
b) How many levels are there for the independent variable for Scenario A?
Group of answer choices
One
Three
Two
None
C) What is the dependent variable for Scenario A?
The employees at the company
The type of company
The work from home policy
Worker job satisfaction
Worker productivity
The office layout (floorplan)
d) What is the confound for Scenario A (You may list more than one, but you must give at least one!).
E) How could the confound be fixed for Scenario A? Be sure to tell me what technique you are using (constancy, repeated measures, randomization, elimination, or balancing), as well as how you would apply that technique to this specific scenario, and how that would fix this confound.
2- Scenario B. A researcher is interested in studying how screentime (the amount of time children watch TV or use electronics) influences children’s social skills. She compares families who allow their 7 year old children to watch 2 hours of screen time per day to those who do not allow any screentime.
A) What is the independent variable for Scenario B?
How many books parents read to the children
The parents
The amount of screentime (2 hours vs zero hours)
The grade the children are in
The children
Whether or not they play violent video games
Reading skills
b) How many levels are there for the independent variable in Scenario B?
Four
Three
One
Two
C) What is the dependent variable for Scenario B?
The parents
How many books parents read to the children
The children
The amount of screentime (2 hours vs zero hours)
Reading skills
Whether or not they play violent video games
The children’s social skills
d) What is the confound for Scenario B (you may list more than one, but you must give at least one!).
e) How could the confound be fixed for Scenario B? Be sure to tell me what technique you are using (constancy, repeated measures, randomization, elimination, or balancing), as well as how you would apply that technique to this specific scenario, and how that would fix this confound.
3-Scenario C. A researcher is interested in examining how different social media platforms influence self-esteem. She randomly assigns a group of users to use only Tik Tok, only Instagram, or only Facebook for one month and compares their self esteem.
a) What is the independent variable for Scenario C?
b) How many levels are there for the independent variable in Scenario C?
Group of answer choices
Two
One
Three
Four
c) What is the dependent variable for Scenario C?
d) What is the confound for Scenario C (you may list more than one, but you must give at least one!).
e) How could the confound be fixed in Scenario C? Be sure to tell me what technique you are using (constancy, repeated measures, randomization, elimination, or balancing), as well as how you would apply that technique to this specific scenario, and how that would fix this confound.
4- Scenario D. A researcher is interested in studying how diet influences memory ability. She compares participants that maintain either a low-carbohydrate diet, a low-fat diet, or a "regular’ diet (in which participants do not rate maintaining any specific form of diet restrictions). She then compares the memory ability of the three groups.
a) What is the independent variable for Scenario D?
Group of answer choices
The amount of exercise they get
Diet type
The participants
Memory ability
Their health behaviors
b) How many levels are there for the independent variable in Scenario D?
Group of answer choices
Four
Three
One
Two
c) What is the dependent variable for Scenario D?
Group of answer choices
The participants
The amount of exercise they get
Diet type
Their health behaviors
Memory ability
d) What is the confound for Scenario D (you may list more than one, but you must give at least one!).
e) How could the confound be fixed in Scenario D? Be sure to tell me what technique you are using (constancy, repeated measures, randomization, elimination, or balancing), as well as how you would apply that technique to this specific scenario, and how that would fix this confound.
5- List steps in the research process that you think psychologists go through. Try to list at least 10 steps, beginning with # 1: Getting a Research Idea, and ending with # 10: publishing the results. You can list more than 10 if you’d like, but you must have at least 10! Because this is not something we have covered in depth yet, this can be an educated guess based on your own initial thoughts of what you think researchers do.
6- Describe and explain the purpose of each step for conducting research
7- What do you think are the 5 most important steps? Why are these the most important?
