Cause and effect relationship of a drug
A psychologist has developed a treatment she believes will prevent child abuse. Unfortunately, the
psychologist was unable to find enough people who abuse their children to conduct a study to
demonstrate the effectiveness of the treatment. Ignoring the ethical considerations of such an
experiment, design a study that would accomplish the following:
a. produce a sufficient sample of child abusers for the study
b. demonstrate conclusively a cause and effect relationship between the treatment and a reduction in
child abuse
