Review
A study examined the effects of caffeine and sugar on task performance. Participants, who were all aged 20 -30 and did not normally drink coffee drank one 12 ounces cup of coffee. All the coffees tasted the same, but half of them were sweetened with sugar and half with artificial sweetener. In addition, half of them were caffeinated and half had no caffeine. After spending 10 minutes doing a filler task (something to keep them busy and distract them about the purpose of the study), they completed a memory task. The researchers found that people remembered more words from a list when they had caffeinated coffee than when they had decaffeinated coffee. They also remembered more words when they had drunk coffee with sugar than coffee with no sugar. What are the independent variables and their levels? Are they between or within-partcipants? Is this a factorial design? If so, what type? How many different cells or groups are there in the study? How many people would you need to have 10 per group/condition? How many main effects are possible in this study? What are they? How many interactions are possible? What are they?

What are two possible control variables? What is a possible testable hypothesis? What type of result did the experimenter find?
A researcher has children choose to watch one of several cartoons. He then observes that the children who chose to watch violent cartoons act more aggressively toward toys (as coded by observers who are blind to condition) than children who chose to watch nonviolent cartoons. He concludes that watching violent cartoons causes children to act more aggressively. What is the major problem with this conclusion?
What are the ethical issues involved in the Glenwood Resource Center investigation?
Suppose a researcher wanted to investigate what types of people call tipster lines. He created posters with a picture of a “missing person” (not really missing) and put them up around town and asked people to call with any information. When they called, he asked them their gender, age, and ethnicity along with their tip. What ethical issue or issues are involved in this study? Name at least 2.
