Document Summary

This friday, the second research in real life assignment is due, not the survey assignment. For the final draft of the consent forms, try to turn the bullet point format into paragraph format. For the final draft of the consent forms, look back at the risk section - there is almost always some risk (ex: anxiety as a result of testing) Relationship: when we observe change/variation in the iv, there is a corresponding, predictable change in the dv. Iv can be continuous (correlational design) or categorical (causal-comparative design) Example of continuous: income along a continuous scale. Does not imply causation, despite the name. Examines whether differences that already exist between two or more existing groups are related to specific factors. Group membership is one of your variables. Generally, the grouping variable/iv will be categorical, and the dv will be continuous. The perry article that we read for class today was causal-comparative.
