Directions Please determine which research method is being used in the following examples: Case Study, Correlation, and Experiment. For correlations, please indicate the type (positive or negative). For experiments, please identify the independent variable and the dependent variable. Click Create Journal Entry (above) to submit answers. Type your name in the title box and the question numbers and answers in the message box. 1. Two groups of adolescents, suffering from OCD, are being studied to determine if behavior therapy is more effective then medication. 2. Eve suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder. She has been working closely with her therapist for the last five years to determine which specific life stressors are most likely to lead to an episode of dissociation. 3. The CDI (children's depression inventory) was given to all the children in an orphanage. The results showed that the longer children had lived in the orphanage, the higher their scores on the inventory. 4. Ben, a graduate student in clinical psychology, is counseling Fennimore Jones in a small room in the neuropsychiatric hospital. Fennimore was admitted to the hospital when he came to the student health clinic complaining that he hears voices shouting obscenities at him. After each session, Ben writes a report detailing Fennimore's verbal and nonverbal behavior and his interpretations of the behavior. 5. A clinical researcher is interested in determining if group therapy or individual therapy is more effective in treating PTSD. 6. To examine the hypothesis "psychosis is related to high temperature, a psychologist goes around and measures these variables to see if there is a relationship.
