Question
2) A study was created to test the effects of fear in children. The hypothesis of the experimenters was that if babies were exposed to fuzzy pandas and at the same time a loud cymbal was struck close behind them, then that child would be afraid of all fuzzy things. Another group of children would be exposed to pandas without any loud noises. The study was carried out as planned and as a result, hundreds of young children developed fear of all cute furry pandas. Experimental Dependent Variable: __ Control Group: __ with Experimental Independent Variable: __ Experimental Group: __ Create an alternate hypothesis for this experiment: __

Experimental Dependent Variable: Fear response in childrenControl Group: Children exposed to pandas without loud noisesExperimental Independent Variable: Presence of loud cymbalsExperimental Group: Children exposed to pandas with loud cymbalsCreate an alternate hypothesis for this experiment:Children exposed to pandas with loud cymbals will not develop a fear of all fuzzy things, but only a fear of pandas.
Explanation
The dependent variable is the fear response in children. The control group is exposed to pandas without loud noises. The independent variable is the presence of loud cymbals. The experimental group is exposed to pandas with loud cymbals. An alternate hypothesis could propose a different outcome or factor influencing the fear response.
