Question

A researcher is interested in examining how the use of activity stations (e.g., standing desks where students stand and can move around while working) can influence adolescent's motivation during class. She recruits a group of high school seniors and has them use traditional desks for the first half of the year, and then use standing desks for the second half of the year, and then compares changes in motivation to succeed in school. 

- How many levels are there for the independent variable in Scenario

- What is the confound?

- How could the confound be fixed in Scenario D? 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. 

Expert Solution
Introduction

Psychologists use experiments to study various variables in a controlled setting. In experiments, the researcher tries to study the effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable. He/she uses different levels of the independent to study the effect of each level on the dependent measure. In the study, the researcher attempts to determine the effect of the use of various activity stations on adolescents' motivation during class. Now, let us see the variables, levels of the independent variable, the confound, and ways to resolve the confound variable-related problem.
