Crash Course In Statistics - The One Way ANOVA - Quiz #3

Instructions: Think about the "Foot-in-the-door" concept (FITD) from your last Crash Course Quiz in Statistics. In this social psychology phenomenon, researchers have found that if you ask someone to engage in a small behavior first, participants are more likely to engage in a big behavior in the future. Now consider the "Door-in-the-face" concept (DITF), where asking someone to do something big makes them less likely to do it. When you then ask for something smaller, they are likely to do it (it makes them feel better about themselves after turning down your first request). You design a new study with three conditions to test the FITD and DITF concepts. In Condition One (FITD), you ask one third of the participants to participate in a series of studies, with the first one taking about 5 minutes. Later, you ask them if they would be willing to participate in a second study that takes 30 minutes. In Condition Two, you ask one third of the participants if they are willing to participate in a series of studies, with the first one taking about 300 minutes (DITF). Then, when they inevitably turn you down, you ask them if they are willing to participate in a study that takes 30 minutes. In Condition Three, you ask the remaining third of participants to simply participate in a study that lasts about 30 minutes (Control). You then measure all participants' willingness to participate in the 30 minute study on a scale ranging from 1 (not at all willing) to 9 (very willing). Complete the questions below and then transfer those answers to your Crash Course in Statistics - The One Way ANOVA Quiz #3 in Canvas (1 point per question). IMPORTANT: The answer options in Canvas may not be in the same order you see them below, so make sure to copy over the CONTENT of the answer and not simply the answer letter (A, B, C, D, or E). Note: If you want to run these analyses yourself, look for the SPSS file called "One Way ANOVA Crash Course Data - FITD" in Canvas - not required, but definitely recommended!)

1). What is the independent variable in this study?

A. Participant's willingness to participate in the study

B. Participant's ability to participate in the study

C. The three conditions of the first study (5 minutes, 300 minutes, 30 minutes)

D. The three conditions (FITD, DITF, Control)

E. Both C and D are correct, as they get at the same independent variable

2). What is the dependent variable in this study?

A. Participant's willingness to participate in the study

B. Participant's ability to participate in the study

C. The three conditions of the first study (5 minutes, 300 minutes, 30 minutes)

D. The three conditions (FITD, DITF, Control)

E. Both C and D are correct, as they get at the same dependent variable
