Permission slips were sent home with fourth-graders from several Minneapolis schools asking parents whether their children could participate in a study about lying. Although all parents agreed to let their children participate, only about half the parents would allow their children to lie for the study. Therefore, those children were all asked to tell a lie right before they went out to recess. The other half (whose parents did not want their children to lie) served as the control group, and those children were asked to tell something truthful right before recess. Observers then coded the children's interactions at recess and rated how aggressive they were. The observers did not know which children were in the lying group until after they made their ratings. Results showed that the kids who lied were significantly more aggressive at recess than the control group of kids. The researchers concluded that lying increases aggression.

Answer 1

Question 3:

In this study it has been studied that whether lying is related to aggressiveness of the students under study and in what way is lying affecting the aggressive nature or behaviours. Thus, the dependent variable is "the observer's aggressiveness rating" and thus, the correct answer is Option C.

Question 4:

The independent variable is basically that factor or variable in the study which has been manipulated in order to see its effects on some measure (dependent variable). Here, the independent variable is lying by the students before recess and thus, the correct answer is Option A.

Question 5:

It has been found from the information given about the study that the students who were not allowed by their parents to lie for the study were kept as the control group. Thus, the correct answer is Option D.
