Study Notes
Variable Identification in Experimental Scenarios
- DV (Dependent Variable) represents the outcome being measured, while IV (Independent Variable) is the condition manipulated by the researcher.
Card 1: Music and Relaxation
- DV: Level of relaxation (measured by heart rate)
- IV: Exposure to classical music
- Experimental Group: Participants listening to classical music for one hour
- Control Group: Participants sitting quietly without music for one hour
Card 2: Drug Effects on Maze Performance
- DV: Time taken to run the maze
- IV: Administration of a new drug
- Experimental Group: Older rats given the new drug
- Control Group: Older rats not given the drug
Card 3: Sleep and Aggression
- DV: Level of aggression
- IV: Amount of sleep received
- Experimental Groups: Participants with 3 hours or 6 hours of sleep
- Control Group: Participants who can sleep as much as they want
Card 4: Fertilizer and Algae Growth
- DV: Algae growth in lakes
- IV: Number of sacks of phosphate fertilizer sold
