Time-out? More like time-in for a nap, if you ask me. But hey, at least it's not the electric chair, right? C is the answer, obviously.

I think C makes sense, it's the independent variable in this study.

Okay, let me think this through. The time-out is the thing they're studying, so it's got to be the independent variable. C is the way to go, folks.

No, it's actually the independent variable because it's what they are changing to see its effect on physical aggression.

Ah, the age-old debate: is time-out the carrot or the stick? But in this case, C is the right choice. Time-out is the independent variable.

Hmm, this one's tricky. The time-out is the treatment, so it has to be the independent variable. Gotta love these psychology questions!

Exactly, the time-out procedure is what is being tested to see its effect on physical aggression.

But wouldn't the time-out procedure be manipulated by the researchers, making it the independent variable?
