    This document provides instructions for an experimental design activity. Students are asked to identify an independent variable that could be dichotomously manipulated, like whether students studied or not, and a dependent variable, like midterm grades. They then select a second independent variable that cannot be randomly assigned, like mental health status, which could have attributes like depressed, anxious, etc. Finally, students are prompted to write a research question combining all three variables, such as "Does the relationship between mental health and study habits effect your midterm grades?"

    Tutorial Activity 4B

    Task 1: You are going to start by imagining the independent and dependent variables in an
    experimental design. (Recall, in true experiments your data sources have to be able to be
    randomly assigned to the attributes of your independent variable.) Start by picking any
    dependent variable you like, and then identify an independent variable that could be measured
    dichotomously in an experiment as influencing this dependent variable.

    (IV) did they study?  (DV) how did the class of soci 210 do on their
    midterms?
    (Attribute 1) ________yes____________
    (Attribute 2) _________no___________

    Follow-up task: Expand the relationship you imagined above by including a second independent
    variable that you can’t randomly assign participants to. Your new independent variable can have
    as many attributes as you need.

    (IV) _____mental health status_______________


    (1) ______depressed______________
    (2) _______anxious_____________
    (3) ________energized____________
    (4) ____mood swings________________
    (5) _______memory and intelligence_____________

    Create a research question that includes all three of the variables identified above to describe the
    relationship explored…
    Does the relationship between mental health and study habits effect your midterm grades
