A group of researchers conducts a study to determine if children's performance is affected by the presence of other children. First, the children are taken to a room with no other children and timed while they complete a puzzle. Later, the same children are taken to a room with four other children and timed while they complete a similar puzzle. In this study, children's performance would be: A) the independent variable B. control variable C. an extraneous variable D. the dependent variable 30. ________ involves observing behavior in individuals in their natural environments. A. archival research B. case study C. naturalistic observation D. survey 31. If psychologists discovered that wealthy people are less satisfied with their marriages than poor people are, this would indicate that wealth and marital satisfaction are: A. causally related B. independent variables C) negatively correlated D) positively correlated
Understand the Problem
The image contains three multiple-choice questions related to research methods and psychological concepts.
Question 29 is asking to identify which variable would be the children's performance in the study described.
Question 30 is asking to identify the research method that involves observing behavior in natural environments.
Question 31 is asking to interpret the relationship between wealth and marital satisfaction based on the given scenario.
Answer
29. D 30. C 31. C
- D) the dependent variable
- C) naturalistic observation
- C) negatively correlated
Answer for screen readers
- D) the dependent variable
- C) naturalistic observation
- C) negatively correlated
More Information
In experimental research, the dependent variable is the one being measured and whose values are determined by the independent variable. Naturalistic observation research involves watching the behavior of individuals in their natural, everyday environments. A negative correlation means that if the value of one variable goes up, the value of the other variable tends to go down.
Tips
Pay attention to the definitions of the types of variables in question 29. Understand that naturalistic observation involves observing subjects in their real environments. Be aware of the difference between negative and positive correlations.
