Question

Determine what type of study is described. Explain. Researchers wanted to determine whether there was an association between high blood pressure and the suppression of emotions. The researchers looked at 1800 adults enrolled in a Health Initiative Observational Study. Each person was interviewed and asked about their response to emotions. In particular they were asked whether their tendency was to express or to hold in anger and other emotions. The degree of suppression of emotions was rated on a scale of 1 to 10. Each person's blood pressure was also measured. The researchers analyzed the results to determine whether there was an association between high blood pressure and the suppression of emotions.

Answer 1

Answer:

Experimental Study

Step-by-step explanation:

In an experimental study, the researchers involve always produce and intervention (in this case they were asked whether their tendency was to express or to hold in anger and other emotions. The degree of suppression of emotions was rated on a scale of 1 to 10) and study the effects taking measurements.

These studies are usually randomized ie subjects are group by chance.

As opposed to observation studies, where the researchers only measures what was observed, seen or hear without any intervention on their parts.
