Using the attached powerporint for reference, read the following scenarios and answer the questions (some are multiple choice, some require text responses)
Scenario A. A researcher wants to study the impact of different incentive structures on employee productivity. Employees in sales group 1 are assigned to receive a monetary bonus, sales group 2 is assigned extra vacation days, and sales group 3 is given public recognition for meeting productivity goals over 3 months.
#1 multiple choice) What is the independent variable in scenario A?
Group of answer choices
The researchers
The incentive structure
Employee productivity
The employees
The company
#2 multiple choice) How many levels are there for this IV?
Group of answer choices

#3 text response) What type of IV best describes the IV in Scenario A? Explain your reasoning and why you think this type best describes this IV.
#4 multiple choice) What is the DV in scenario A?
Group of answer choices
Employee productivity
The researchers
The employees
The company
The incentive structure
#5 text response) Provide an operational definition for the dependent variable in scenario A. Some important information that needs to be included in your operational definition includes:
What is the operational definition of your dv (how do you define it)?
How will you record or measure the dv?
#6 text response) What is the confound for Scenario A (You may list more than one, but you must give at least one!).
#7 text response) How could the confound be fixed for Scenario A? Be sure to tell me what technique you are using (constancy, repeated measures, randomization, elimination, or balancing), as well as how you would apply that technique to this specific scenario, and how that would fix this confound.
Scenario B. A tech company wants to assess whether using dark mode or light mode on devices affects eye strain. Participants are randomly assigned to use their devices in dark mode or light mode for 4 weeks and then their eye strain is measured.
#8 multiple choice) What is the independent variable in scenario B?
Group of answer choices
The researchers
The 4 week time period
Eye strain
The type of phone they are using
The participants
The color setting on their phone (dark mode vs light mode)
#9 multiple choice) How many levels does this IV have?

#12 text response) Provide an operational definition for the dependent variable in scenario B. Some important information that needs to be included in your operational definition includes:
What is the operational definition of your dv (how do you define it)?
How will you record or measure the dv?
#13 text response)What is the confound for Scenario B (you may list more than one, but you must give at least one!).
#14 text response)How could the confound be fixed for Scenario B? Be sure to tell me what technique you are using (constancy, repeated measures, randomization, elimination, or balancing), as well as how you would apply that technique to this specific scenario, and how that would fix this confound.
Scenario C. A researcher wants to study how age influences the effectiveness of memory training programs. Participants are divided into three age groups: young adults (18-30), middle-aged adults (31-50), and older adults (51-70). All participants undergo the same memory training program for 8 weeks.
#15 multiple choice)What is the independent variable in Scenario C?
Group of answer choices
The memory training program
The researchers
The age of the participants
Memory ability

#19 text response)Provide an operational definition for the dependent variable in scenario C. Some important information that needs to be included in your operational definition includes:
what is the dv (how do you define it)?
how will you measure or record the dv?
#20 text response) What is the confound for Scenario C (you may list more than one, but you must give at least one!).
