Quantitative Research Case Study: Avandia

1. On a separate sheet of paper, draw a diagram of your experimental design. How many groups would you use to test your hypothesis? What would be the conditions for each group, and what data would you obtain from you experiment? Of this data what would be quantitative (i.e. we can measure using numbers) and what data would be qualitative (i.e. we measure without using numbers)? To test my hypothesis I would create two groups. One group would receive the drug Avandia and the other group will receive a Placebo. The conditions for each group would have to be the same because we want to make sure that Avandia is working for the intended purpose to regulate blood sugar levels within the body for example, we would have to make sure that the participants are within the same age group, physical build, and monitor what medications. Monitoring the medications a patient may take is extremely important because other drugs may affect how well Avandia works in regards to regulating blood sugar levels. The use of other drugs could possibly influence Avandia to treat something else within the body. For this case study experiment the data can be both quantitative and qualitative. The quantitative would derive from measuring your blood sugar levels with a glucose monitor and the qualitative data stems from side …show more content…

The dependent variable is the blood glucose level. The control within the experiment is something that minimizes the effect of other third party variables other than the independent variable. Having the control is crucial because we want to ensure that the drug we are testing does what we predicted it to do. In this case we want to test if the Avandia actually controls blood sugar levels within the body. The control group would be the group that receives the placebo drug. The drug would look similar to Avandia, but not contain the same working ingredients like

The study will have an experimental design involving groups of three people, two of which will be told beforehand about what the experiment will be about. Subjects will be analyzed in a classroom setting where familiar people will interact with them. This will help subjects feel more comfortable and allow us to observe whether or not they fall into peer pressure when under their element. The comparing value will be their age and grade. The dependent variable will be how well the subject can follow instructions.

The Constant Variable would be environment and temperature. The Materials needed for the experiment are pencil, paper bag, and stopwatch. There are two components of the procedures section, as there was a pre-lab activity, and the actual experiment. For the pre-lab activity, there was one group member who would breathe into the bag for three minutes, while another group member times thirty-second intervals. The other two group members would observe the

Through the ins and outs of this experiment, the goal was to see if hanging a chicken feeder on a hook decreased the amount of chicken feed that was consumed by birds. The question that was asked was “If a chicken feeder is hung off of a hook, then will the amount of chicken feed eaten by wild birds decrease?”, and the hypothesis is “if a chicken feeder is hung off of a hook then the amount of chicken feed eaten by wild birds decrease”. There were numerous variables and trials that had to take place for the experiment to perform as desired. The control group was the feeder that was at ground level, and this portion of the trial was tested seven times. The experimental group was the feeder that was not at ground level, but on a hook.

The romantic red effect is the idea that men believe a woman is more attractive and sexually desirable if she is associated with the color red. The romantic red effect fits within the color context theory, which states that colors have different meanings based on the context. During achievement situations, the color red usually means failure or inaccurate. However, in romantic situations red is associated with love, passion, and lust. Therefore, depending on the context red can be perceived as failure or love, which are two complete opposites.

Dependant Variable: Heart rate and Concentration. Control Group: All the participants did the concentration test before being exposed to coffee in order to be able to compare the outcomes without the independant variable with the results with the independent variable.

Dependent variable (the one that alters because of what we do), in this case reaction time. The dependent variable is usually the one we measure or record. The problem is always remembering which is which, simply to think of the dependent variable as the one that depends on what the researcher does! In this case reaction time (DV) depends on whether or not the participant has had a cup of coffee. Crucially an experiment allows researchers to establish a causal link between the IV and the DV.

On the other hand, the experimental group was given the same diet low in saturated fat but with the added green tea. The meals for both of the groups contained the same ingredients.
