Answer:
1. Drinking alcohol influences people's tendency to become socially aggressive?
2. Experimental hypothesis:
In this experiment, if teenagers between 16 to 19, drink 100% agave tequila, then they become socially aggresive.
Dependent variable: social aggresiveness.
Independent variable: 100% agave tequila consumption.
Explanation:
Experimental conditions: these group members will consume alcohol at specified given conditions.
Control conditions: these group members will not consume alcohol.
The participants in this experiment are 16 teenagers aged from 16 to 19, 8 teenagers will be allowed to drink 100% agave tequila, and 8 teenagers will be the control group.
All teenagers participants belong to four mexican related families which will represent the experiment´s group.
Group # 1: Sanchez family with 4 participants aged 16 and 19 year old teenagers will be in the experimental group and the 17 and 18 year old ones, in the control group.
Group # 2: Gutierrez family with 3 participants aged 16 year old twins in the control and one 19 year old in the experimental group.
Group # 3: Lopez family with 5 participants, 16, 17 and 19 year old in experimental group and 18 year old twins in the control group.
Group # 4: Santillan family with 4 participants, the 16 and 18 year old will be in the control group and the 17 and 19 will be in the experimental group.
Experimental procedures to help ensure the reliability of the research.
The participants are to be observed during four different family parties thrown by each family participating on four different dates for interaction and social aggressiveness when consuming alcohol. In the Sanchez´ family party and first observation the teenagers drink 4, 6 oz. 100% agave tequila "caballitos" for them to drink in a one hour time frame.
In the Gutierrez´ party´s observation the participants are to drink 5, 6 oz 100% agave tequila "caballitos" within one hour time frame.
In the Lopez´ party´s observation the participants are to drink 6, 6 oz 100% agave tequila "caballitos" within one hour time frame.
In the Santillan´s party´s observation the participants are to drink 7, 6 oz 100% agave tequila "caballitos" within one hour time frame.
Hypothesis: The teenagers in the experimental group will develop increasing social aggressiveness within their alcohol consumption.
Conclusion: the 4 mexican families are now enemies as all their teenagers in the experimental group became aggressive after drinking 100% agave tequila and ended up fighting with each other in each party.
