Answer:

BY USING MORE NEUTRAL LANGUAGE TO AVOID LEADING QUESTION.

Explanation:

Construct validity defines how well a test or experiment measures up to its claims.

Leading questions are questions which subtly prompts the respondent to answer in a particular way. Leading questions result in biased or false answers and so, they are undesirable.

In Jenny's case, she is against cutting down of the tree in the campus and so plans to find out if others feel the same way, she does this by asking the students a leading question just so that they can answer in her favor.

To improve the construct validity of the question, Jenny has to use MORE NEUTRAL LANGUAGE TO AVOID LEADING QUESTION.

Neutral languages or questions do not carry any hidden-agenda. They are open-minded and allow people to think deeply about the answer.

Therefore, the question could be changed to improve its construct validity by USING MORE NEUTRAL LANGUAGE TO AVOID LEADING QUESTION.

In this particular case, the tone (Previously conditioned stimulus) stops being presented with the food (unconditioned stimulus) until the dog no longer salivates (unconditioned response). This procedure is called Extinction.

Vegans - vegans are opposed to consuming or using any products that are derived from animals. They believe that it is cruel and inhumane to eat or use anything that comes from animals. They are also against animal testing in research. They believe strongly in animal rights.

Peta - Peta stands for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. It is an American animal rights organization and they focuses on eliminating all types of animal cruelty around the world.

RSPCA - Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. It is a UK based welfare charity that focus on animal rescue and welfare throughout the entire country.
