Overview: You will briefly answer ten objective short-answer questions that require you todissect one experiment reported by Feng, Li, and Li in a 2013 issue of Communication Research.Your answers must be typed, 12 point font, 1-inch margins. Note that most of these questions can be answered with a single sentence. Your answers should fit easily on a single page. Turn your paper in at the beginning of the class session. Electronic (email attachment) submissions will not be accepted. Late submissions will not be accepted. Evaluation: Your answers to these questions will be equally weighted (1/2 point each). Think ofthis as a take-home quiz. The work you submit must be your own. Assistance: Your TA and/or instructor will gladly answer questions you have about thee xperiments in this study. We will not tell you if your draft answers are correct, as this is a quiz .If you come seeking guidance, please bring specific questions about the article, not your responses to the quiz questions.________________________________________________________________________Questions1. what experimental manipulations were used in this study? Which one was thein dependent variable?2. In Experiment, a 3x2 factorial design was used. The three types of pictures and IDs are three conditions of the independent variable. Why did the researchers include two topics?3. This study adopted a 3x2 factorial design. How many experimental conditions were present in this design? List all conditions.4. There were two dependent variables and two mediators (perception variables), each measured with a set of indicators. What were the two dependent variables and two mediators?5. When measuring participants’ perceptions of the support-seekers, researchers adopted a set ofitems to measure the perceptions. How did the researchers measure participants’ perception?6. How did the researchers measure the internal consistency of the two sets of items? Were theyinternally consistent?7. How were the two dependent variable measured?8. How did researchers ensure the reliability of the measurement of the two dependent variables?9. What type of sample did the researchers use? Explain the advantages and disadvantages ofusing this type of sample.10. “External validity” refers to the extent to which the results of a study can be generalized toother kinds of people, experimental stimuli, and settings. Describe one feature of theexperimental design that generalizes the external validity.
