Question

Raymond is completing a study on discrimination in which he has noted that saleswomen who wear skirt suits make more sales than saleswomen who only wear pant suits. however, Raymond determined that his findings only pertained to those industries in which the purchasing decision maker is traditionally masculine. For example, the sales results were the same for all women selling to medical office managers, a female dominated field. Raymond used _______ variables to more accurately explain his results.
A) global
B) general
C) dependent
D) non-reactive
E) contingency

Answer 1

Answer:

Contingency Variables

Explanation:

The reason is that Raymond studied all the possible factors separately that will affect the outcome of a particular situation. This effect can be in measured using a scale which in this case is level of sales. The saleswomen can make higher sales in male dominant (factor) areas and fewer sales in female dominant (factor) areas.
