Scenario A. A professor wants to improve attendance in her class and wants to test out a new flexible attendance policy to see if it improves attendance. She decides to implement the new flexible attendance policy in her Tuesday Introductory Psychology section and compares attendance to her Friday Introductory Psychology section, where she does not implement the new policy. She expects that attendance will increase in the class with the new policy.

• Whattypeof independent variable is the IV in scenario A? Explain why you think the IV is that type of IV.
• Provide an operational definition for the dependent variable in this study. 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 record or measure the dv?
• What is the confound for Scenario A (You may list more than one, but you must give at least one!).
• 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.
