In a study aimed at answering this question, a random sample of 100 adults was given a personality test, and a comparison was made between the scores on the introversion/extroversion scale and blood type (A, B, AB, О). (a) Is this an experiment, a retrospective observational study, or a prospective observational study? (b) Comment on the extent to which inferences can be drawn about a larger population and whether cause and effect can be established.arrow_forwardIn a recent experiment, participants were to take 7,000 steps per day. Group A received a payment of $1.40 per day if they achieved the goal. Group B received a lump sum payment of $42; $1.40 was deducted daily for each day they did not achieve their goal. At the end of the experiment, Group B was significantly more successful in achieving the 7,000 steps per day. Upon which of the following behavioral economics concepts was this experiment based?
