Essay

We ran an experiment with 10 men and 10 women that investigated whether the color of the paper red/white) that someone was copy-typing from or the color of the computer screen red/white) that someone was typing onto made any difference in typing speed. Everyone typed on all colors of paper with all colors of screens. We hypothesized that men would be affected by the color of the screen, but not by the color of the paper. Is the experimental design within-subjects, between-subjects, or mixed? What is are) the independent variables)? The dependant variables)? Is the design a true experiment, single-subject experiment, or a quasi-experiment? What are the conditions of the experiment?
