Professor Turing is designing a study where she will be comparing the handwriting of undergraduate students under two different manipulations
In one condition, the students will write after consuming 1 cup of strong coffee, and in the second condition, students will write after consuming 3 cups of strong coffee. She takes a number of student volunteers from her research methods class and randomly assigns them to one of the two different conditions. Unfortunately, in the 3-cup condition, 4 students decide to drop out of the study at the last minute, so Professor Turing asks four additional sociology students to serve as replacements. What is a valid criticism of Professor Turing's study?
a. These kinds of studies should only be conducted with non-human animals since the
manipulation involves the consumption of a chemical substance.
b. This design is now based on nonequivalent groups.
c. This type of study will not produce any sort of a cure or benefit for human beings,
hence money should not be spent on such research.
d. Since handwriting is so individualized, it is not worth pursuing attempts to analyze it.
