In order to measure aggressiveness in toddlers, a researcher sat on a park bench for an afternoon and observed children playing

on the slides and climbing equipment. To get clean results, it was very important that the toddlers not know that someone was observing them. What type of experiment would best fit these criteria?

The answer is a Natural Experiment.

A natural experiment takes place in natural settings and are used when independent variables can't be manipulated directly for ethical/practical reasons, so in this case the toddlers playing.  Any effect observed happens naturally. They aren't seen as true experiments as the independent variable (toddlers playing) hasn't been changed deliberately to see effect on dependent variable (aggressiveness).

Fittoniya [83]

The fact that people who watch a lot of violent TV are also more likely to be aggressive does not in itself proof a cause-effect relationship. That is, there is no evidence that one situation is a cause and the other one is a consequence (causation). It only proves that both characteristics are present together (correlation).

This could be a case of “spurious correlation,” which implies that two characteristics are often present together because there is a third factor that influences both of them.  

For example, if we assume that this case refers to minors,  it could be that minors who watch a lot of violent TV are neglected by their parents. Additionally, it could be that children who behave aggressively are also neglected by their parents. If that were the case, then being neglected would be a more likely predictor of violent behaviour, as opposed to watching violent TV.  

In order to make sure there is a cause-effect relationship, we would need to perform an experiment where all other factors are controlled.

Aleksandr [31]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although the question does not include options, we can say the following.

Shilah is assigned a small group project. She groans when the teacher announces that the project will be given a single group grade (and that she cannot receive an individual grade) because she knows that working in teams or groups is likely to cause conflicts and problems.

And this is a continual occurrence in many classrooms when the teacher asks students for teamwork and announces that the grade would not be individual but is going to be a group grade. Students know each other and know who is a hard worker and who is lazy.

In this case, Shilah knows that some of the group members are known to be lazy and do not commit to the group effort. And sometimes students like Shilas have to do extra work or the work of others in order for the group to have a good grade.
