10. An experiment is testing the effect of violent radio broadcasts on aggressive behavior. Each participant listens to a violent broadcast and then completes a survey. The participant then listens to a non-violent radio broadcast and completes a second survey. This is an example of a

13. Daniel is testing the effects of watching cartoons on children’s play. He has one group watch violent cartoons and another one watch non-violent cartoons. He then measures the children’s aggressive play behaviors. What is the dependent variable in this experiment?
