Dr. Pinner is interested in studying the association between likeability and popularity and plans on using two groups and three levels of the independent variable. Dr. Pinner will randomly select a group of elementary school students and a group of high school students. Students will then to do three different performance activities in front of their peers. Dr. Pinner is likely to find:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dr. Pinner's study design, involving two groups (elementary and high school students) and three levels of an independent variable (different performance activities), suggests an exploration of how different conditions affect likeability and popularity. This setup is conducive to identifying a functional relationship, which describes how one variable (likeability/popularity) changes with another (type of performance activity) across different groups (age levels). The study does not specifically imply the use of polynomial regression or the identification of a quadratic function, nor does it suggest a simple linear relationship without more information on the nature of the relationship between variables.
