1. Since the study for this assignment was correlational, we can't know for sure whether spending time exercising actually causes an increase in happiness. Now I want you to design an experimental study that could help to figure out if exercising actually causes happiness.

What is your hypothesis? 

What is your independent variable?  How will you manipulate the IV?

What is your dependent variable? How will you measure your DV?

Note: You can disregard ethical limitations here! Just design an experimental study rather than a purely correlational study.
