Question 1
1/ 1pts
A recent study by Dommeyer (2008) examined what factors influence
whether or not people respond to a mail survey. In other words, are there
factors that can influence if a person responds to a survey that he or she
received in the mail? Dommeyer wanted to know if the attractiveness of the
researcher (attractive and not attractive) in a cover letter would influence if
people responded to the mail survey. Dommeyer also wanted to know if the
sex of the researcher (male or female) in the cover letter would influence if
people responded to the mail survey. So, participants viewed 1 of 4 mail
surveys. The second independent variable of attractiveness of the
researcher was a __________ variable.
test
dependent
subject
manipulation
