A team of researchers is studying intelligence. The researchers examined a potential relationship between watching worldcup soccer and a student's academic success. For their study, a large group of students reported the amount of world cup soccer they had watched in the two weeks leading up to their midterm exams. The results indicated that the more soccer a student watched, the better the student's exam grades tended to be.

The researchers concluded that soccer-viewing improves exam grades. Though the researchers aren't sure why soccer viewing improves intelligence, they have planned further research during the next world cup qualifiers as well as research examining correlations between other sports than soccer. Which of the following would NOT represent a way to improve on the research already conducted?

Question 20 options:

Conduct a study in which final exam grades are examined among a group of students who have said that they do not watch any sports.


Replicate the study with a different sample of students to see if the outcome remains the same.


Conduct more research evaluating whether other sport-viewing activities also correlate with improved exam grades.


Conduct a study in which participants are given an IQ test after watching world cup soccer.
