Question
In a different study, researchers were interested in which facial expressions were more beneficial on job applications. AI generated photos of fake applicants were attached to fake job applications for a data scientist job. The photos were designed to either show a serious face or a smiling face.The job applications were randomly assigned to either a serious photo or a smiling photo and all were given to a panel of interviewers who decided whether the applicant should be put forward for an interview. The interviewers were not told the purpose of the study or that the applications and their photos were fake.Use the information about the study to decide if each of the following three statements are TRUE or FALSE.A control group was used in this study. Blocking was not used in this study. Blinding was not used in this study.
Solution
-
FALSE - A control group was used in this study. In this study, the control group would be the applications with the serious face photos. These applications provide a baseline to compare the effects of the smiling face photos.
-
TRUE - Blocking was not used in this study. Blocking is a technique used in experimental design to reduce the effects of confounding variables. In this study, there is no mention of any such technique being used.
-
FALSE - Blinding was used in this study. The interviewers were not aware of the purpose of the study or that the applications and their photos were fake. This is a form of single blinding, where the participants (in this case, the interviewers) are not aware of the group to which the subjects (in this case, the applications) have been assigned.
