   2. Hypothesis and Variables

   4. Scenarios:A researcher wonders how well the sense of smell functions during sleep. In general, we know that our sensory systems operate at a higher threshold during sleep. That is, a more intense stimulus is required to elicit a response during sleep than during wakefulness. Furthermore, we are less responsive during some stages of sleep than during others. Experiments using sounds suggest that we are less responsive during stages 3 and 4 sleep (deep sleep) than during stages 1, 2, or REM sleep (lighter sleep). Thus, the 4 – 16 researcher predicts that research participants will be less responsive to odors during stages 3 and 4 sleep than during the other stages of sleep. The researcher devises a system for delivering odors while college students sleep in the laboratory. Peppermint fragrance is delivered at specific times through a modified oxygen mask that the students wear while they sleep. Electrodes are attached to each student’s scalp, face, and chin to determine sleep staging. Electrodes are also attached to each student’s chest to record heart rate. A change in heart rate following presentation of the odor is used to indicate that the participant detected the odor.

      Instructions:

      4. Read the scenario above and answer the following questions:
         1. What is the research hypothesis?
         2. What is the independent variable?
         3. Is the independent variable a qualitative variable or a quantitative variable? Explain.
         4. Why might the researchers want to use multiple dependent variables?
         5. Describe one limitation of this study

         3. Sampling Methods”
         5. 1. Please find an experimental or quasi-experimental or descriptive article you wild like to use for the article critique assignment. Make sure it is from a nursing journal and is not older than five years. on a topic of your interest.
            2. Review the article and provide a summary of the article, and answer the following questions:
               1. Discuss whether you think the article is true-experimental, quasi-experimental, or no experimental. You must also state what type of quantitative design (descriptive, correlational, etc.)
               2. Where was the setting of the study?
               3. What are the sampling methods? Does the sample reflect the population (representativeness)? What about sample size? What was the risk of sampling error in the study? Did the author acknowledge the sample criteria? Inclusion or exclusion?
               4. What are the variables being measured?
               5. What data collection methods were used?
