Dr. ford wants to test the hypothesis that room color can affect memory. to test this, he randomly assigns 10 students to a condition where they study a written passage while seated in a room that is painted a lilac color. the other 10 students study the passage while seated in an identical room that is painted bright orange. after both groups studied the passage for 1 hour, they were given a multiple-choice test over the material. dr. ford then calculated how many questions the students in both groups got right. in dr. ford's study, the dependent variable is the_

The dependent variable is the students’ memory (measured by the test results).

Explanation:

In Dr. Ford’s hypothesis, room color is the independent variable, while students' memory is the dependent variable, because color influences the memory, not vice versa.

Dr. Ford chooses to measure memory in a multiple-choice test over the material. Thus, the test result represents the ‘memory of students', or in other words how much detail from the written passage they were able to remember. If Dr. Ford, would choose to study how room color effects students’ mood, the letter would be a dependent variable in this scenario.

new communications technology has affected the way social movements are organized because nowadays, social movements rely on social networks and the media to get different people with a similar way of thinking in contact, and thus, get them to mobilize for a greater cause.

individuals only participate in collective action when they feel identified with it. is in this aspect that social media becomes relevant, because it guarantees communication among all individuals and organizes the social actions that are going to be carried out, i.e., the social movements.

in addition, being covered by the media is important to validate the message and make it relevant in the social agenda, as well as to reach more people who can share interests, appealing to public sympathy for their cause.

in conclusion, it is by social networks and social media that social movement is given birth; by connecting different individuals with similar ideas and organizing them to mobilize for a greater cause.
