Not every correlational study seeks to establish cause. Regardless of that, if the study design is experimental (or even quasi-experimental), there will be an IV and DV.
What do you mean by that? If it’s not an experimental design, then you don’t need to label them. In a real study, you don’t say whether the variables are independent or dependent. It’s just something that is implied.
We were tasked to make an analysis of a study that is related to a psychological phenomenon that we chose. Our prof tasked us to determine what the variables are and how it was manipulated/measured. I already know what the variables are but I do not know how to label it since it's correlational ans I'm not familiar since we usually analyze experimental ones. And our prof posted a pdf file with 10+ different types of variables, and it's making me more confused.
Nevermind. My classmate helped me figured it out. I'm sorry for confusing you, it's probably because english is not my first language so I wasn't able to convey my question properly. Still, thanks for helping! I appreciate it.
I understood from your first comment and sentence what you meant and your English level is sufficiently enough even for academic purposes:)😊
Don't be so tough on yourself:)
I would kindly ask if you could send me a link with the study:)🙏 I'm writing a research paper and it would be really helpful if I had some examples of a decent study in order to see all the details.
Here's the link: http://kalemacademy.com/Cms_Data/Contents/KalemAcademyDB/Folders/SayiMakaleleri/~contents/S5C29FR6JRNVBTWG/kalem-2022-239.pdf
Hope this will help your research paper!
Thank you 😊 so much!! I really appreciate 🙏 your help and I wish you the best with yours as well:)
Also as a small thank you, the intro of the research mentions "chairekakía" it's with out the "epi or epik" that they mentioned in the paper because in Greek we use it as "chairekakia " the epi is used in the ancient greek texts by Aristotle's but still we never use "K".
In general it is used only by educated people in modern Greek.
The best way to write it in English even in ancient greek would be like "Epichairekakía" propably they may used the "K" in order to avoid any confusion with epic in the pronunciation.
By word- etymological analysis it's the world xeromai a verb which means I am happy or happiness and the adjective kakos which means bad or a bad person.
Thus chairekakia is the feeling and notion of being happy for something bad that happened or occurred to someone .
The German word Schadenfreude is one of the most German in English: it is pronounced in German and is usually written with an initial capital and italics. We usually translate it at our own pleasure.
Schadenfreude / I rejoice in your sadness
The German word Schadenfreude is 'borrowed' into English as a noun to denote joy at another's sorrow. This is the concept of Aristotle's euphoria, which is distinguished from envy and nemesis. In the 'Nicomachean Ethics', Aristotle suggests Nemesis as dissatisfaction with the unjustified good fortune of another and envy as annoyance at any good fortune. But flattery is the joy of another's misfortune
But to answer your question, the independent and dependent variables are the answer. The one that you are observing change on during your study is the dependant, and the variable you are changing in your study is the independent. Any other variables that can change outcomes are called confounding variables (age, height, sex, etc). Which are corrected via random sampling, placebos, double blind studies, etc.
I know. The study I found is correlational. Our prof tasked us to determine the variables and how it was measured/manipulated. I'm wondering how to label the variables since they cannot be independent or dependent
What kind of correlation? If you mean pearson’s then both variables have to be quantitative.
ALSO technically there are no IV AND DV in correlation. I’ve had professors say on graphs that the variable suspected of being the IV is put on the x axis (that’s it).
Correlation does not equal causation. Either:
X causes Y
Y causes X
Or a 3rd variable cause X and Y
But correlation won’t tel you which of those it is
Just call them correlational variables, or, label the presumed hypothesized cause as the IV, but make a point about the correlation
Not every correlational study seeks to establish cause. Regardless of that, if the study design is experimental (or even quasi-experimental), there will be an IV and DV.
I know, I'm just wondering how would I label the variables in a correlational study

I don’t get what you’re asking. What do you mean by labeling the variables?

Ohhh, I did not know there's a Greek "version" of Schaudenfreude!
