Question

A research study conducted by Grim (2008) reported that the amount of beer that a scientist drank per year was associated with the likelihood of that scientist publishing a scientific paper. Come up with examples of possible third variables that could mediation this relationship, moderate this relationship, or simply be a third variable that is linked to the two variables. Make sure to mention if you think your variable mediations, moderations, or is simply related to the other two variables and why.

Explanation / Answer

Third variable:

It is a confound in research study. It causes change in dependent variable. It misleads research and our assumptions.

Third variables in Grim's research study:

1.Critical thinkers

2.Sleeping problems

3.Peers

4.Addiction

Critical thinkers is a third variable, Why?

Scientists are basically critical thinkers. Eventhough there is no scientific paper work then also scientists think about some other things critically. Critically thinking causes stress and stress causes to drink beer. In this way their critical thinking nature became as third variable.

Sleeping problem is third variable, Why?

Most of the scientists suffers from sleeping problems. Because They always be in research. Eventhough there is no scientific paper work then also they will suffer from sleep, results they drink beer. In this way scientists sleeping problem became as third variable.

Peers are third variable, Why?

  Probably scientists friends also will be scientists. If their friends did research , drinking beer results they also drinks beer eventhough they have no scientific paper work. In this way peers are became as third variable.

Addiction is third varible, Why?

  When scientists do research in lab they drinks beer to decrese stress. This habit turns as addiction. Later eventhough they don't have the scientific paper work then also they drinks beer. In this way addiction became as third variable in this research.
