2. Which method (experimental or nonexperimental) would you use to test this hypothesis? Why?
3. Which is the independent or “cause” variable and which is the dependent or “effect” variable?
4. State an operational definition for each variable. If experimental, describe how the independent variable
might be manipulated and the dependent variable measured. If nonexperimental, describe how both
variables might be measured.
