My previous classmate researched on the relationship between children’s nutrition and their cognitive development and found out that children have less energy and less interest for learning when under-nutrition. What is the independent, dependent and extraaneous variable?

A researcher would like to know if stress has a negative effect on memory performance. One group of participants was exposed to a stress inducing noise and the second group listened to a calming music. Afterwards, both groups were given a memory test. The researcher compared the average memory test scores of two groups. What is the dependent variable in this experiment? Stress inducing noise. O Stress reducing calming music. O Level of stress (i.e., stress inducing noise or calming music) Memory test performance.
A researcher wants to test a new memory performance supplement that has shown some promise in primate studies where subjects were given the supplement followed by the task of identifying pictures of other animals three days later. The dependent variable was measured by the number of pictures correctly identified. The researchers noticed that while there was a positive correlation between the group given the supplement and number of correctly identified pictures as compared to the control group, they also notice that there seemed to be some variation between the males and females of the primates. Additionally, two different amounts of the drug have been proposed for consideration. Therefore, in the current study, the researchers want to divide the subject primates (N=60) by gender (male: n=30; female: n=30), and give them a 10 mg dose in one treatment condition, and a 25 mg dose in the other treatment condition. To do this, they are dividing each group of males and females in half, and…
I am determining how effective a Drug is at reducing inflammation in individuals infected with a virus. the serum levels of antibody are measured as a measure of inflammation (less antibodies means less inflammation which decreases virus mortality) in 30 people given placebo, 30 people given 1 unit of the drug, and 30 people given 2 units of the drug. I would like to determine what levels of the drug are effective, and if there are sex-specific effects. What are the dependent and independent variables in this experiment? age _________ sex __________ antibody level _____________ treatment ___________
What is the Independent variable and the dependent variable of this problem? A neuropsychologist is studying brainlateralization—the degree to which thecontrol of various cognitive functions islocalized more in one cerebral hemispherethan the other. This researcher is awarethat for men, being right-handed seemsto be associated with a greater degree oflateralization than does being left-handedbut that this relationship may not applyto women, who seem to be less lateralizedin general. Various tasks are used in combination to derive a lateralization scorefor each subject as shown in the followingtable.
A two-factor study investigates the effects of self-esteem (low vs. high) and gender (males vs. females) on anxiety scores. The following data represents the means for each treatment condition. Low self-esteem High self-esteem Male 5 11 Female 10 3 The data shows that there is a self-esteem by gender interaction. Explain the self-esteem by gender interaction (include individual means in your explanation)
If the omitted variable is negatively correlated with the treatment and has a positive impact on the outcome, the true causal effect is bigger than the estimated effect. Blank 1: enter "True" or "False" Blank 2: explain briefly (1-3 lines).
If it was found that two variables have a statistically significant relationship, we conclude that one variable affects the changes in the other variable without further information. This statement is (select one) True False
A study compared different psychological therapies for teenage girls suffering from anorexia, an eating disorder that causes them to become dangerously underweight.Each girl’s weight was measured before and after a period of therapy. The variable of interest was the weight change, defined as weight at the end of the study minus weight at the beginning of the study.Two therapies were designed to aid weight gain, one of which is the cognitive behavioral therapy. This form of psychotherapy stresses identifying the thinking that causes the undesirable behavior and replacing it with thoughts designed to help improve this behavior. The changes of 29 teenage girls receiving thecognitive behavioral therapy in weight (in lbs) during the study were1.7, 11.7, -1.4, 0.7, 6.1, -0.8, -0.1, 1.1, 2.4, -0.7, -4.0, 12.6, -3.5, 20.9,1.9, 14.9, -9.3, 3.9, 3.5, 2.1, 0.1, 17.1, 1.4, 15.4, -7.6, -0.3, -0.7,1.6, -3.7The weight change was positive if the girl gained weight (which is desired) and negative if…
If my hypothesis assumes that religious women are more satisfied with life than men, would gender be my dependent variable? Religion and satisfaction with life are both independent? Is that correct?
well-known multinational FMCG produces more than fifty products and sells them in the market. Out of fifty products one is mineral water for drinking purpose and supplies different size pack bottles in the market. Product manager observed that, during hot days the sale of water is more as compared to the normal days. He started the collection of data of weekly sale of water and the average weekly temperature. Product manager was interested in developing a relationship between sales and temperature; therefore, he discussed and shared the following data with you. sales 75 77 69 63 79 80 77 70 73 87 72 73 80 80 69 84 77 72 74 81 temperature 32 36 31 31 34 29 32 35 28 31 30 31 29 35 36 28 32 33 32 33 Sale is in thousand liters and temperature is in degree Celsius.
