4. Read the abstract (the summarizing paragraph on the first page) of the study, "A Randomized Field Experiment Using Self-Reflection on School Behavior to Help Students in Secondary School Reach Their Performance Potential" ("school_potential.pdf"). Answer the
questions that follow. (You're welcome to read/skim the rest of the article, but these
questions refer specifically, and only, to the abstract.) (a) What is the treatment of interest in the study? (b) What is/are the outcome(s) of interest in the study? (c) What is the independent variable in this study? (d) What is/are the dependent variable(s) in this study? (e) Is treatment status randomized? How do you know? (f) Is this study an experiment, a natural experiment, or an observational study? How do you know?
(g) Though the abstract is not explicit about this, what is the implied control group? (h) The abstract doesn't state this, but what might be a plausible placebo in this experiment, and why might the researchers use one?
