Research Methods for Patient Research

Research Methods for Patient Research Research Methods Statistics TAQ .1 TAQ. 2 The aim of the study was to test whether children who are told they will perform well, perform better than those who are not. The dependent variable is the subject test scores. The Hypothesis for this experiment would be â€Å"Subjects that are told they would do well, perform significantly better than those who are not†. The hypothesis is directional as we will find out which subjects perform better and not just that there is a difference (in that case it would be non-directional). Because we are expecting one set of results to be significantly higher than the other the hypothesis is one tailed. The control group are the subjects who have not been told they will perform well. The purpose of the control group is to act as a measuring stick to gauge the other subjects test scores to see if the hypothesis is correct. The independent variable is whether the children have been told or have not been told they will perform well. TAQ.3 Total word count, 1000 References; Wikipedia, 2014.
