Answer 1

• 1.A researcher manipulates dependent variables in one or more treatments and then compares the effects of the treatments against the control group where subjects did not receive treatment-FALSE
• An independent variable is a variable that is manipulated to determine the value of a dependent variable.
• 2.Innovation Diffusion Theory-There are four main elements, not in any specific order, in the diffusion theory: the innovation, communication channels, time and a social system.
• The start of the diffusion process begins with an innovation. Whether that is technological, scientific, social or anything in the world, an innovation is simply a person having a new idea.
• The communication channel is the means by which messages get from one individual to another and will structure the rest of this paper.
• The time dimension is involved in diffusion (1) when an individual passes first knowledge off an innovation through adoption or rejection, (2) the relative earliness/lateness the innovation is adopted compared with others in society, (3) the rate of adoption in society measured in the amount of adopters of an innovation within a given time period.
• The last element, social system, is defined as a set of interrelated units that are engaged in joint problem solving to accomplish a common goal, which could consist of individuals, informal groups, organizations and/or subsystems.
• 3.Agency theory-The agency theory is a supposition that explains the relationship between principals and agents in business.Agency theory addresses problems that arise due to differences between the goals or desires between the principal and agent. This situation may occur because the principal isn’t aware of the actions of the agent or is prohibited by resources from acquiring the information.
• For example, company executives may have a desire to expand a business into other markets. This will sacrifice the short-term profitability of the company for prospective growth and higher earnings in the future. However, shareholders that desire high current capital growth may be unaware of these plans.
• 4.Psychology  is sort of the scientific study of behaviors, cognition, and emotion. Psychology is an academic and applied discipline involving the scientific study of mental processes and behavior.
