Scenario C.

He asks residents of Washington, D.C. to rate their feelings of connectedness to their city (on a scale of 1-10) during game 3 of the World Series, when their baseball team, The Nationals, are currently winning the series (2-0). He then asks residents of Pittsburgh, PA to rate their feelings of connectedness to their city (on a scale of 1-10) during fifth week of the football season, when their football team, the Steelers, have yet to win a game all season (when their record is 0 wins and 5 losses).\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

Your Answer:<\/p>\n

In my opinion, the confounding variable can be the type of the sport each team is playing. It would be maybe the fixture of The Nationals is much easier and that is why they are performing better as compared to the Steelers who might be having a hard time with their fixture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Your Answer:<\/p>\n

This can be fixed through comparing two teams that play the same sport. It would be effective if the researcher analyzed two football teams from the two cities and the amount of happiness supporters have on their teams, maybe playing in the baseball or the football league.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The participants in the study can be the confound of the scenario. It is possible to find that there are some participants that are not conversant with the app, others might find meditation or in-person therapy more helpful. As such it would influence both the results of the therapy and the time for the therapy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
