    Question

    In a sample of UCU students, you want to investigate whether the personality trait “extraversion” predicts the number of off-campus friends a student has. However, you are concerned that your results might be influenced by the fact that Dutch students might have more off-campus friends than international students, on average. How could you best address this problem?


    1. TRUE: Use multiple regression, controlling for the ethnicity of a student (International vs Dutch)
    2. FALSE: Use multiple regression, controlling for the number of friends a student has
    3. FALSE: Use multiple regression, including an interaction between ethnicity of a student (International vs Dutch) and number of friends
    4. FALSE: The samples are not comparable; conduct separate analyses for Dutch and international students
