I want you to look at one group members' study idea and identify the independent and dependent variable, identify the scale of measurement for that DV, and note what the appropriate test should be to analyze any data that comes from the study (a t-Test, ANOVA, chi square, correlation, etc.). For example ...

In the study above there are two independent variables: depression (high versus low) and therapy (humanistic versus cognitive-behavioral versus control). This is a 2 X 3 design with depression level as the dependent variable. Since the dependent variable is an interval scale, the most appropriate test is a factorial ANOVA.

1. "A researcher wants to test to see if people who are English or Korean speakers that listen to Kpop are likely to buy more K-pop albums from the big 4 record companies(JYP, SM, YG, BIGHIT). The researcher takes a sample of 100 people (50 of the people are english speakers, and the other 50 are Korean speakers) and randomly assigns them to one of the four conditions (JYP, SM, YG, BIGHIT) and a control group that do not buy from the big 4 companies). The researcher document which type of language speaker is more likely to buy from one of the big 4 companies through use of a survey that asks, " Rate your response on a scale of 1-5 to agreement to the statement". "I am willing to buy albums from JYP", "I am willing to buy albums from SM", "I am willing to buy albums from YG", "I am willing to buy albums from BIGHIT". 1 being strongly to disagree and 5 being strongly to agree"
