INTRODUCTION
Psychology is defined as the study which is related with understanding of people behaviour,
attitude, attribute, and mental functioning. It is clearly creating better understanding and create
help to the people with psychological disorder, treat mental health issue and also take step to
improve the education system, workplace behaviour and relationship (Chimirri, and Schraube,
2019). Therefore, psychology may have applied in the various areas of life and day to day
activities which may foster the positive attitude and personality. The need of psychology in the
everyday life is important because it help to provide the way which may applied in population to
make the behaviour which positive and achieve better interaction. In this report, the major of
discussion is based on the psychology which is divided into the three task that is related with the
case study. The case study is usually containing some question which is answered correctly with
context to report with evidence base data (Cori, 2019).
MAIN BODY
TASK
Question 1
A: The dependent variable is defined as variable that may change as the outcome of the
independent variable manipulation. The outcome is usually measured with the proper use of
independent variable. In this, the statistics is well used which is also known as the response
variable that they can respond to the change in another variable. In the context with case study,
the two group are divided where first group consist of 20 males and 5 females which work as the
dependent variable. In the main reason to choose 20 males and 5 females that they change then
the outcome is also the variable. In addition, the second group is also considered within the case
study which may show the participant that is 15 males and 10 females which is also work as the
dependent variable within the report of psychology. The major of selection of people within the
group are outline by Dr. Butler for their experiment which is related with dream experiment and
extent to which they can influenced by consumption of the different food before their bedtime
(Cychosz and et. al., 2020).
B: The independent variable is defined as the variable which usually manipulate, control or vary
in an experimental study in order to make the study that is related with effect. It is also shows
independent because it is not influenced by the other variable in the term of study. Therefore, the

independent variable which is also analysed that explanatory variable they explain an events or
the outcomes. In this report, group are divided into the two parts where the first group is usually
a part an experiment where the independent variable is defined as consumed junk food that is
before going to the sleep. The group two is usually consist of the independent variable that is
defined as the consumed piece of the fruits before going to the sleep. The independent variable in
not clear but mostly they contain piece of fruits because reliability they show effect as the
variable (Fuller-Tyszkiewicz and et. al., 2019).
C: In this report, as per the evaluation of case study, it is clearly state that the extraneous variable
is defined as the variable that is helpful in order to make the investigation that can show the
potential affect where the outcome of the research study has been taken. In this, they are left to
be uncontrolled, the extraneous variable can help to lead to create the inaccurate conclusion
about the aspect of relationship that is well related with the independent and dependent variable.
In this report, the meat based junk food and other milk based food which may not outline within
study while performing experiment through the Dr. Butler that act as the main extraneous
variable that affect the outcome of the research study.
D: As a psychologist, Dr. Butler may require some of the data and information which is related
with experiment that is about dream and extent to which they can generally influenced by the
consumption of different food before the bedtime. In addition, she selects two group for study
that may include group one and group two. The reliable research question is used to made that
may help the Dr. Butler for the investigation that is:
Research questions: To understand the level of extent to which they can influenced by the
consumption of the various food before bedtime (Gheisarian and et. a., 2019).
E: As per the study of case study, it is appropriately analysed that study complied the qualitative
data due to the food consumption which is not calculated as per the amount. The qualitative data
is usually common process for the research with the context to the reliable collection of data and
information which may generate the aspect that is showing the strength when they are taken
within research process. The qualitative data is defined as the conceptual and descriptive finding
which is generally collected through the various of source which may defined as the interview,
observation and questionnaire. The analysis is used to taken in which qualitative data allow to
explore the ideas and further explain which is related with the quantitative outcome. In this
report, the major of study is well related with the psychological aspect that is complex issue to
