You are designing a two-group true experiment examining the effects of pet ownership on a measure of happiness. You randomly sample 300 men and women and bring them into the laboratory to begin the study. You then use random assignment to conduct your experiment. A. Identify the independent variable and provide a description of how you will use experimental manipulation to create your two comparison groups (hint: remember this is a true experiment). B. Identify your dependent variable and provide an operational definition for how you will measure your that variable (without using a survey or a question asked of the participant)? C. After conducting your study, you find that your results are significant. How could you describe those results? State the conclusions (hint: remember this was a true experiment.)
