. Is the DV qualitative or quantitative? b. Is the DV self-report or behavioral? c. If the researchers wanted to include a physiological measure of stress, which of the following would count as physiological? [Eye tracking, heart rate monitoring, nail biting]
Psychologists wanted to examine whether practicing mindfulness reduces students’ stress levels. In their study, participants watched a short video explaining mindfulness and telling them how to spend a 3-minute period in a “mindfulness moment.” Each day for 7 days after watching the video, participants received a text alert from the researcher asking them to complete a 3-min mindfulness moment. Before watching the initial video and after their 7th day of mindfulness practice, students completed a stress rating questionnaire reflecting how stressed they felt generally and in the present moment. Researchers then tested whether reported stress levels were lower at the end of the study than they were at the beginning.
