Consider the following proposed relationships between an independent and a dependent variable. In each case, would it be realistic for a researcher to perform an experiment to test the theory? If yes, briefly describe what would be randomly assigned in the experiment; if no, briefly explain why not.

(a)​An individual’s level of religiosity (X) and his or her preferences for different political candidates (Y).

(b)​Exposure to negative political news (X) and political apathy (Y). 

(c)​Military service (X) and attitudes toward foreign policy (Y).

(d)​A speaker’s personal characteristics (X) and persuasiveness (Y).

(a)​An individual’s level of religiosity (X) and his or her preferences for different political candidates (Y).

Yes, it would be realistic for a researcher to perform an experiment to test the theory. The individuals will be randomly assigned in this experiment.

(b)​Exposure to negative political news (X) and political apathy (Y). 

Yes, it would be realistic for a researcher to perform an experiment to test the theory. The negative political news will be randomly assigned in this experiment.

(c)​Military service (X) and attitudes toward foreign policy (Y).

Yes, it would be realistic for a researcher to perform an experiment to test the theory. The military service will be randomly assigned in this experiment.

(d)​A speaker’s personal characteristics (X) and persuasiveness (Y).

Yes, it would be realistic for a researcher to perform an experiment to test the theory. The speaker’s will be randomly assigned in this experiment.
