Question

Question 12 Unsaved A sample of University of Colorado students each viewed one of two simulated news reports about a terrorist bombing against the United States by a fictitious country. One report showed the bombing attack on a military target and the other on a cultural/educational site. Additionally, before viewing the news report, each student read one of two "primes." The first was a prime for forgiveness based on the biblical saying "Love thy enemy," while the second was a retaliatory prime based on the biblical saying "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth." After viewing the news report, the students were asked to rate on a scale of 1 to 12 what the U.S. reaction should be, with the lowest score (1) corresponding to the United States sending a special ambassador to the country and the highest score (12) corresponding to an all-out nuclear attack against the country.6 (Use a diagram like Figure 9.2 from the text to display the factors and treatments.) Identify the following in this experiment:

_____ eye-for-an-eye prime

_____ the students

_____ love thy neighbor prime

_____ rating of U.S. reaction to attack

_____ prime used

_____ cultural/educational target

_____ military target

_____ type of attack

Options:

1. Subjects

2. Factors

3. Treatments for the prime

4. Treatments for the type of attack

5. Response variable

Answer 1

Here as we can see that

eye-for-an-eye prime and love thy neighbor prime are leading to the treatment selection criteria which is proposed in the prime and hence we can say that these two are Treatments for the prime as explained in the paragraph.

The students  are the ones whoes response we are recoring as a part of the study and hence we call them the Subjects

Rating of U.S. reaction to attack is measured on the scale of 1 to 12 which will lead us to a conclusion and hence we can say that it is the Response variable

prime used is playing a major role in student's choice of the answer and hence it is a Factor affecting the outcome of the rating.

cultural/educational target and military target are the Factors which are given in the paragaraph.

Type of attack are the Treatments for the type of attack we are discussing here which is based upon the outcome of the ratings from 1 to 12.
