Time-out? More like time-in for a nap, if you ask me. But hey, at least it's not the electric chair, right? C is the answer, obviously.

Okay, let me think this through. The time-out is the thing they're studying, so it's got to be the independent variable. C is the way to go, folks.

I agree, the time-out is what they are manipulating, so it's the independent variable.

Ah, the age-old debate: is time-out the carrot or the stick? But in this case, C is the right choice. Time-out is the independent variable.

Hmm, this one's tricky. The time-out is the treatment, so it has to be the independent variable. Gotta love these psychology questions!

I think the time-out is the independent variable because it's the treatment.

The time-out procedure is definitely the independent variable, as it's the intervention being tested. C is the correct answer.

But wouldn't the time-out procedure be manipulated by the researchers, making it the independent variable?
