Psychologist Scully believes that doing meditation or engaging in vigorous exercise leads to better grades. She predicts an interaction between meditation and exercise such that engaging in both activities (meditation and exercise) produces no more benefit than either activity alone. She randomly assigns 80 participants to 4 groups. Twenty participants meditate and exercise, 20 participants meditate but do not exercise, 20 participants exercise but do not meditate and 20 participants neither exercise nor meditate. a) Name the independent variable(s) and the levels of each. Be careful--your design must be able to test her prediction. b) Name the dependent variable(s)
