Controlling for a variable

personal impact or power on how the dice is rolled. Similar to the other experiments the independent variable is the type of music they are listening to; high-power versus low-power. The dependent variable however varies slightly. The overall dependent is the sense of power, but in the experiment discussed it is specifically illusory control. Researchers do not know what the outcome of this variable will be, it is out of their control, they can only observe…

Mexican Health and Aging Study (MHAS). The MHAS dataset contains demographic information on characteristics, indicators of current health, health behaviors, use of health care services, income, wealth, and migration history. There were six dependent variables which consisted of; Self-reported health status, measured on a 5-point Likert scale; very good, good, fair, and poor. Second, Health conditions, was defined by the number of self-reported chronic health conditions encompassing hypertension,…

factors and the observed variables will be examined by Cronbach’s alpha (>.7; Nunnally,…

specify that some of the previous research does not control for certain confounding variables. In their study, the authors hope to reduce extraneous variability by “…controlling the number of recycling receptacles across conditions and by examining receptacle location without the use of posted signs” (712). The specific recyclable waste being measured was plastic water bottles.…

The variables used as search terms were: community policing, effectiveness, race/ethnicity, methods, results, comparisons, perceptions, trust views in the police, programs, Hispanic and others perception views on the police, and etc. Try to make the research as…

researchers realised that fruit flies that ate a high-sugar diet developed a diabetic-like state, similar to humans. The researchers focused on the insulin receptor protein, which binds and regulates the effects of insulin, and were able to map its controlling circuits. Because…

specifically look for causes and effects (Kovera,2010). It focuses only on whether there is a correlation between the x factors, y factors, and how strong that relationship is to the y variable output in your business process (Kovera,2010). In a scatter diagram that indicates a positive correlation of x and y variables, the data points fall to either side of a best-fit line that rises steadily from left to right (Summer, & Dehaney, 1943). In a scatter diagram that indicates a negative…

running a randomized-controlled trials simultaneously with randomly assigned control and test groups to capture the cause-and-effect relationship – if flat-fare option during different timing of the day is effective in increasing revenue. Controlling for extraneous variables, 2000 CD App users are randomly chosen as our target group. Using simple random sampling, 500 users from the target group are randomly chosen to form Control Group, Test Group 1, 2 and 3 respectively, and only users from the…

1. The hypothesis: Distractions during mealtimes is the reason for obesity and the increase of consuming unhealthy food. 2. The operational definition(s) of the dependent variable(s): There are two dependent variables in this research: the body mass index which was calculated according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention Guidelines (CDC) and the food consumption. They have trained researchers to measure the height (cm) and also the weight (kg) of each participants. Body mass…

of the schoolchildren in Connecticut, in December of 2012. After this event the Obama administration began limiting the availability of military-style weapons and many policies have been established, placing many different variables on gun purchasing and owning. These variables range from background checks to gun safety classes. I believe that guns should be controlled. Citizens do have the right to bear arms, but I believe a citizen should prove that they are responsible enough to own a weapon.…
