Imagine you have participants scheduled to participate in a really fun and exciting study that pays $20 for an hour! They come, but then you tell them that the study is cancelled, but there is another study they can do. For some participants, you tell them the alternative study is just as fun as the original study and also pays $20. For other participants, you tell them the alternative study is dull (it involves a memory task) but also pays $20 for an hour. For a final set of participants, you tell them that the alternative study is dull (it involves a memory task) and doesn't pay anything. You then ask them if they are willing to participate in the alternative study (yes or no) and have them rate on a scale how excited they are to participate in the alternative study (rated from 1 = very excited to 9 = not at all excited).
1). What is the independent variable in this study, and how many levels are there to each? Choose the correct response
A. IV: Alternative study, with two levels (Alternative study versus Original study)
B. IV: Alternative study, with three levels (Alternative study versus Original study versus New study)
C. IV: Alternative study, with three levels (Fun + $20 versus Dull + $20 versus Dull without $20).
D. IV: Dollar amount description, with three levels ($20 versus Nothing versus $10)
2). What is/are the dependent variable(s) in this study, and what scale of measurement are they based on (NOIR)? (.5 points)
A. DV #1: Is the participant willing to participate in the alternative study (Yes or No): Nominal scale. - DV #2: How excited are they to participate in the alternative study: Interval scale
B. DV #1: Is the participant willing to participate in the alternative study (Yes or No): Ratio scale. - DV #2: How excited are they to participate in the alternative study: Nominal scale
C. DV #1: Does the participant want to participate in the original study only? (Yes or No): Ratio scale. - DV #2: How excited are they to participate in the alternative study: Nominal scale
D. DV #1: Is the participant willing to participate in the alternative study (Yes or No): Nominal scale. - DV #2: How excited are they to participate in the alternative study: Ratio scale
