    distractionnone, low, and highon scores on a
    test of visual memory. Participants are randomly
    assigned to one of three conditions no
    distraction, low distraction, or high
    distraction. All participants engage in a test of
    visual memory. What is the independent variable?
    What is the dependent variable? What is the
    purpose of random assignment to groups? What is
    the purpose of random assignment to groups?

Analysis of Ethical Dilemma (UOP)
  • Read the following scenarioA well-known
    researcher at a major university has two graduate
    student assistants. He conducts three studies in
    his laboratory, all of which involve very

    assistants complete all of the data collection.
    They also assist in writing the Discussion
    section of the final article, adding their
    thoughts and suggestions to the various drafts.

    variables.2. What are the advantages and
    disadvantages of posttest only design and
    pretest-posttest design 3. What is meant by
    sensitivity of a dependent variable? 4. What are
