Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The group using the smart glasses while driving is the experimental group in this scenario because they are the ones being subjected to the experimental manipulation (using the smart glasses). The control group would be a group that does not use the smart glasses while driving but is otherwise similar to the experimental group. The dependent and independent variables are not relevant to identifying the experimental group in this scenario.
