Read the power point slides through this link (https://www.slideshare.net/mkmacin/experimental-research-mary-macin) and answer the following questions.
Â
1. What is the main topic of the research? (1 or 2 sentences).
Â
2. For the purposes of this research, how is the concept of ‘compliance to authority’

Â
5. Is the research design quantitative or qualitative? (one word)
Â
6. Is the research design experimental or correlational (as the terms are used in this
course)? (one word)
Â
7. The authors do not clearly name their primary Independent Variable throughout the
research. They call the different categories of this variable ‘Treatments’ (see the notes)
Treatments O, H and R represent an absence of this variable while the other treatments
represent different forms of this variable. What label could reasonably be used to
describe this primary Independent Variable? (sentence)
Â
8. What is the main Dependent Variable in this research? (sentence)
Â
9. Why do the researchers conduct an experiment involving antisocial (nasty) behaviour
rather than prosocial (helpful) behaviour? (sentence)
Â
10. Who are the subjects and how many subjects are there? (sentence)
Â
11. How many different treatments are there? (number)
Â
12. What is the main difference between the R treatment and the RCC treatment? (1 or 2
sentences)
Â
13. What is the main difference between the R treatment and the R-Order treatment? (1 or 2
sentences)

14. What is the main difference between the RC treatment and the RCJ treatment? (1 or 2
sentences)

Â
16. How many participants are there in treatment groups R and R-Order (2 numbers)
Â
17. How many explicit hypotheses are described in the research article? (number)
Â
18. According to the ‘Notes’, which research hypotheses are most closely related to the
central question of the research? (sentence)
Â
19. Looking at the Results, which of these ‘key’ research hypotheses were supported by a
‘statistically significant’ difference and which were not supported? (1 or 2 sentences).
Â
20. Why do the ‘Notes’ suggest that the phrase in the abstract that ‘...up to 60-70% of
participants decided to comply with the orders or cues being provided.’ could be
somewhat misleading? (short paragraph)
Â
21. What are the main research findings? (short paragraph)
Â
22. Why do the notes describe the discussion about the effectiveness of the R-Order
treatment as an example of ‘ad hoc’ theorizing? (sentence)
Â
23. According to the Notes, what is the main issue in assuming that these results apply to
organizational behaviour? (short paragraph)
