Selection/sampling (everyone who came to week 5 lecture and stayed for the 3rd hour, sequential random assignment) For each independent variable, state whether it was implemented in a between-subjects or within-subjects design. State the number of levels, name and describe. State whether participants were members or pre-existing groups or were randomly assigned to groups. Always state the dependent variable last (measuring self-esteem) Ex: this study used a between- subjects design, with three conditions that simulated parenting styles thought to lead to different attachment styles: secure, insecure, and ambivalent. After participating in one experimental condition, each participant completed the altercations inventory as the dependent variable. 2 x 2 fully between-subjects design used in this study.
