Is it ethical for a manufacturing company that wishes not to be identified as the sponsor of a mail survey to invent the name of a fictitious research company and print the name on the letterhead paper used for the survey?
I do not think it is ethical for a manufacturing company to invent a fictitious research company. I think 3 things that are not good can come from it. The first thing is the manufacturing company might not have the expertise in surveys. Second is there a point to the survey or to test loyalties. Third is the amount of distrust that comes from creating a fictitious company. If distributors ever learn about this then there can be major problems with trust and relationships.
When thinking about creating a

The brother-in-law mentioned that his company had recently begun programming background music into the data-entry workers™ room with the result that productivity had increased and the number of errors had decreased. Kessler thought that music within a grocery store might have an impact on customers. Specifically, he thought that customers might stay in the store longer if slow, easy-to-listen-to music were played. After some serious thought, he started thinking that he should hire a business researcher to design an experiment for testing the influence of music tempo on shopper behavior.
Independent variables are expected to determine the outcomes of interest. Dependent variables are the outcomes interest to the researcher and the decision makers. (Zikmund, Babin, Carr, & Griffin, 2010).
The dependent variable refers to the status of the 'effect '(or outcome) in which the researcher is interested; the independent variable refers to the status of the presumed 'cause, ' changes in which lead to changes in the status of the dependent variable…any event or condition can be conceptualized as either an independent or a dependent variable. (Rosenthal & Rosnow, 1991).
Because the independent variable is the influence of music tempo.
The Dependent variables are:
-Mood of shoppers
-Increased Sales
-Increase
If I was doing this study, my hypothesis would be that “people, who receive an aversive stimulus every time they give an incorrect answer, will try harder to get the correct answer than those who do not receive anything”. My independent variables, which are the variables that researcher manipulates, would be the electric shocks and the emotional motivation; and my dependent variable, which is the variable that is tested and measured, would be the members’ results.
* Independent variable coefficient – This is the measured effect the independent variables have on the dependent variable. This is the main output of the regression analysis.
An independent variable is a variable that is manipulated and whose effect is being studied. The independent variable in this demonstration is the choices that each group had to pick from for their answer. A dependent variable is what changed due to the manipulation of the independent variable. The dependent variable in this demonstration was how the choices that each group had chose, or more specifically, how many people showed that they understood conservation and how many people did not.
A variable is an independent variable when it is believed to affect or alter status on another variable. The independent variable is referred to as treatment or intervention and is symbolized with letter X. Conversely, a variable is a dependent variable when status on the variable seems to depend on stats on another variable. The dependent variable is considered as the outcome of treatment and is symbolized with the letter Y.
An independent variable is the assumed cause, in a cause and effect relationship, and the dependent variable is the presumed effect from the independent
Variables are used to analyze, interpret and provide sense and meaning to a descriptive study or experiment. Selecting variable is a very important part of experimental study. Variables provides the understanding of what is studied and helps to interpret the studies. In a study, it is important to clearly differentiate the difference between the dependent and independent variable. Variables are divided into dependent and independent variables. In an experimental study, a variable creates changes to other variable such as memory, attention, or behavior. Changing the dependent variable in a study can
A dependent variable is the variable that is measured throughout the experiment. The dependent variable in this experiment is the measurement of froth over 20 seconds and the rate of reaction.
An experimental group is the group in an experiment that get the full treatment. They are treated with the variable of interest. The hypothesis of this study was that the presumed attractiveness of the female students would influence how the male students interpreted their personality and how the male students acted towards the female students. A hypothesis is an educated guess for how the results of an experiment will turn out. The independent variable in this study is the photo of the female that the male students received. It could be either an attractive female or an unattractive female. An independent variable is something that is changed in an experiment to discover how the different treatments change the results. Therefore, the photos of the females were the independent variable because they were the only things that changed within the experiment. The effects of the change in the photos was what was being studied. The study showed reliability because the ratings of the outside raters was
This could be a program, method, system, or other action. A dependent variableis what may change as a result of the independent variable or intervention. A dependent variable could be a behavior, outcome, or other condition. A smoking cessation program, for example, is an independent variable that may change group members’ smoking behavior, the primary dependent variable.
Independent: the independent variable in the psychology discipline is increase in children playtime; this is because children’s learning behaviours and social skills relies on how much playtime children’s get.
The research method will be guided and conducted by the ethical practices and guidelines of a professionally moral business research study. However, there are several problems that I may encounter in conducting the research using on-line technology, such as active and engaged consumers ' participation, internet security, confidentiality, legal age requirements, depth of detailed information surveyed and ethical rights of the participants. Ethical practices would also mean that the partakers will be totally anonymous, private and without risks of being identified. Landrum writes that
Two types of independent variables are personal characteristics and environmental variables (Turban, King, McKay, Marshall, Lee, & Viehland, 2008). Personal characteristics refer to the demographic factors, internal individual factors, and behavioral characteristics (Turban, King, McKay, Marshall, Lee, & Viehland,
Independent variable and subject variables are similar in the fact that both types of variables can impact the results of a test. Both independent and subject variables can be used to assess relationships between two items (Kiess & Green, 2010, p. 10-12). The difference arises in the control the experimenter has: near complete when dealing with independent variables, and very limited when working with subject variables (Kiess & Green, 2010, p. 10-12). For instance, a researcher can alter the amount of light in a room for a vision test, but cannot control if the subject has limited eyesight ability due to a congenital disorder.
Q2. The dependent variable is the variable that is produced by the manipulations of the independent variable by the experimenters. As competency increases (the independent variable) anxiety (the dependent variable) decreases. The assumptions of the researchers are that anxiety is an effect rather than a cause of incompetence. There is also an assumption that competency increases as one works longer at a particular job.
Someone’s health would be one of the dependent variables because it depends on how much technology someone is using. The amount of technology affects someone’s health, it’s the cause of the changes in someone’s health.
