Identify the independent variable (IV) and give the operational definitions by describing what your experimental group and control group will receive in terms of the level of the IV.

A tobacco company wants to encourage the use of cigarettes and puts out an ad suggesting that nicotine may enhance reaction time and therefore driving ability. Is there some truth to their suggestion since nicotine acts as a stimulant when bound to receptors on muscle fibers? Design a simple study using the experimental research method to test the hypothesis that ‘Nicotine enhances driving ability.’ Your research design should answer the following questions by addressing the items below. This is a ‘thought experiment’ to be designed on paper; please do NOT collect any data.In your design description:Identify your sample or who you plan to study. Specify the characteristic(s) of the sample that is appropriate for the variables under study (ie., should the study include people of all ages?… etc.) and explain why you set the limit(s).Identify the independent variable (IV) and give the operational definitions by describing what your experimental group and control group will receive in terms of the level of the IV. The operational definitions should also describe how the IV will be administered to the groups. In your answer, make sure you are clear and start with, “The independent variable is….”; “The experimental group will receive…” “The control group will receive…”Identify the dependent variable (DV) and give the operational definition by describing what will be measured from your participants. Groups will be compared on the DV to determine if the IV was effective. In your answer, make sure you are clear and start with, “The dependent variable is…”List at least 3 control variables that you, as the researcher, should keep consistent across the two groups under study; remember you want to treat the groups as similar as possible and vary them ONLY on the IV so that any changes in the DV can be attributed solely to the IV.
