Question

Read each of the scenarios below, and then: 1) list all variable names whether it is independent or dependent: A variable is any characteristic that varies. Independent Variables do the influencing and usually come first in time order, while dependent variables lean on or are affected by the independent variable, and come second in time. Also, dependent variables are often the main thing being studied, although this is not always true. A researcher is very interested in studying the various ways students cheat on campus. To better understand this phenomenon, she collects information from students of two colleges at OU (Business and Social Sciences). A researcher collects data from 1500 subjects. As part of this research, data is gathered from subjects with high and low income in order to explain why people opt to cohabitate-i.e., live together without being married. One study attempted to understand social distance- that is how close people wish to be to one another in interaction. To operationalize social distance, the researcher asked subjects of different age groups to walk toward persons at the end of a room and then measured their perception of the distance in feet and inches. The purpose of this study was to investigate police interrogation tactics-those that belittle clients versus those that treat them with respect to determine if such behaviors are related to police' gender. The administration comes to a college professor and asks her to research the new Freshmen Orientation program. The researcher collects a sample of students with high and low high school grade point average, and asks them to assess orientation on a scale from 1 (hated orientation) to 20 (loved orientation).
