Answer:

c) the emotional or neutral word list

Explanation:

In research, we usually have two different types of variables:

  • The independent variable is the one that the researchers can control and that will have an effect on another variable.
  • The dependent variable is the one that cannot be control and that is affected by the independent variable. Researchers observe this variable to see how it changes. This is the variable that will be tested or measured.

In other words, the independent variable has an effect on another one and it can actually be controlled by researchers.

In this example, Dr. Kang wants to examine the effects of emotion on memory. In other words, how emotions affect memory. He proceeds to hand a list of words with very emotional content to a group of subjects and a list of neutral words to another group and then measures how many words each group is able to remember. We can see that he thinks emotional words will have an EFFECT on emotion. Also, he can control this variable by handing different lists (emotional or neutral words) to each group. Therefore, this is the independent variable. ( c. the emotional or neutral word list)

Why were Americans upset with Great Britain before the War of 1812? A. Great Britain closed its own ports but kept French ports
topjm [15]

The correct answer is: C) Great Britain's navy captured American sailors before the war began.

Because of the conflict between Great Britain and Napoleon Bonaparte's France, both countries tried to block the United States from trading with the other, which damaged and angered Americans deeply. Later on, to make things much worse, the Royal Navy of Great Britain took American sailors into the marine forces without notice to fight on its behalf. Both of these causes ultimately led to President James Madison's Declaration of War upon the British.
