participants read 10 scenarios. In this study, the researchers wanted to
determine the impact of the scenario type on the anchoring and adjusting

Question 18
During the late 1980s and the early 1990s the Pepsi Challenge was in full
swing. During the challenge, participants were asked to taste cola from

were asked to report which was better tasting. The results indicated that
participants found Pepsi products to be better tasting. What is the
dependent
variable in this study?
