The correct answers are treatment; depression levels.
Answer 1: The independent variable (IV) in this study is the treatment the clients receive; that is, whether or not they received <span>cognitive-behavioral treatment. An IV is an experimental variable in a study that is controlled and manipulated in order to measure its effects on dependent variables or outcomes.
Answer 2: </span>The dependent variable (DV) in this study is the clients' depression levels. DVs refer to outcome variables or results that are obtained as a result of manipulating an IV. In this instance, the manipulation of the IV (whether the participants received cognitive-behavioral treatment or were instead wait-listed) led to the DV- clients' depression levels. Specifically the researchers were investigating whether receiving the treatment had an influence on clients' depression levels.
Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
"Dr. Parrett is a sports psychologist for a large Southern university. The provost and chancellor have asked him to examine the relationship between athletic performance and academic stress at the university. For example, is it the case that the most talented athletes experience the greatest concern over their grades? The provost and chancellor have made it clear to Dr. Parrett that they want a large amount of external validity in the study. He has valid and reliable measures of both athletic performance and academic stress. He knows that he does not have the time or the money to study the entire population of interest.
Imagine that Dr. Parrett wants to use a nonrepresentative sampling technique. Name the three types of nonprobability sampling and explain how each one could be used by Dr. Parrett."
Answer:
The four types of nonprobability sampling are convenience sampling, purposive sampling, quota sampling, and snowball sampling.
Explanation:
Convenience sampling: Allows a selection to be made of a small sample of the target population of the research. This sample is made up of individuals who are available and accessible to research and not through statistical criteria. Regarding the question above, Dr. Parrett can select the athletes he knows and who would like to participate in the research.
Purposive sampling: It allows the sample to be controlled whenever a certain manipulation is possible to generate expected and known results. In the case of the question above, Dr Parrett can search for specific athletes, with characteristics that will generate an expected result in the research.
Snowball sampling: Allows the individuals who make up the sample to invite other individuals to compose the sample, who in turn can invite other individuals. In the case of the question above, Dr. Parret can invite the athletes he wants and ask them to call friends to participate in the survey as well.
Sampling quota: Allows the individuals who will compose the sample to be selected due to their characteristics and qualities. Regarding the question above, Dr. Parrett could only summon athletes with high marks.
