Assignment task: Suppose you were interested in studying the relationship between the amount of exercise children have in the week and their academic performance. Match each way of addressing this research question with its correct research strategy
- correlational research strategy
- factorial research strategy ( both independent variables are non experimental)
- nonexperimental research strategy
- factorial research strategy (one independent variable is non experimental an one independent variable is experimental)
1. compare academic performance in children who report more than 10 hours of exercise each week compared to children who report less than five hours of exercise
2. look for a relationship between the amount of exercise children report receiving in the week and their academic performance
3. randomly assigned children to one of the two 12 week programs a) after school fitness or b) arts and crafts. compare change in academic performance from the start to the end of the semester in children who receive fitness compared to arts and crafts training
4. recruit children who are already participating in one of the two 12 week programs a) after school fitness or b) arts and crafts. compare change in academic performance from the start to the end of the semester in children who receive fitness compared to arts and crafts training
