Half of each group of 250 people were signed up for a three month gym membership at the same gym and on the same workout plan. ]]> 2020-10-09 07:09:32 UTC https://padlet.com/scsha477/vukvjhqgg7gyw5qb/wish/816098423 scsha477 https://padlet.com/scsha477/vukvjhqgg7gyw5qb/wish/816100783 We selected this gym (Anytime Fitness) based on customer satisfaction, as well as it being a convenient gym for all 250 people who were on a workout plan to go to from work. ]]> 2020-10-09 07:12:04 UTC https://padlet.com/scsha477/vukvjhqgg7gyw5qb/wish/816100783 scsha477 https://padlet.com/scsha477/vukvjhqgg7gyw5qb/wish/816102304 After we randomly selected 500 people who did not exercise very often (less than twice a week) and 250 of those people were satisfied with their job and 250 people who were not satisfied with their job, we took each group and randomly split them in half. Half of the group (125 people in each group) were given a free three month gym trial and a workout plan created for them by the personal trainers at the gym to achieve the best results possible, as well as assist those who were not experienced in what workouts to do. We measured their levels of happiness at the beginning and ned of the three months, as well as their satisfaction with working out as a whole. ]]> 2020-10-09 07:13:43 UTC https://padlet.com/scsha477/vukvjhqgg7gyw5qb/wish/816102304 scsha477 https://padlet.com/scsha477/vukvjhqgg7gyw5qb/wish/816107427 The explanatory variable were the people's exercise levels within the three months that the survey took place.]]> 2020-10-09 07:18:48 UTC https://padlet.com/scsha477/vukvjhqgg7gyw5qb/wish/816107427 scsha477 https://padlet.com/scsha477/vukvjhqgg7gyw5qb/wish/816109540 The response variable were the people's satisfaction with their jobs.]]> 2020-10-09 07:20:45 UTC https://padlet.com/scsha477/vukvjhqgg7gyw5qb/wish/816109540 scsha477 https://padlet.com/scsha477/vukvjhqgg7gyw5qb/wish/816110938 We randomized the employees based on their original answers (whether they were satisfied with job) and assigned them a workout routine based on their interests and body type created by a personal trainer at a gym near their company. There were still lurking variables in this survey such as someone's interest in exercise and being active, whether someone enjoys being at a gym, whether or not their job interests them, co-workers, their paycheck, time spent at the job, other time commitments, and transportation. ]]> 2020-10-09 07:21:58 UTC https://padlet.com/scsha477/vukvjhqgg7gyw5qb/wish/816110938 scsha477 https://padlet.com/scsha477/vukvjhqgg7gyw5qb/wish/816114720 We will replicate this experiment with five-hundred new participants from a different company in a different area around the nation, as well as try out a new gym to see if that affects the outcome.]]> 2020-10-09 07:25:48 UTC https://padlet.com/scsha477/vukvjhqgg7gyw5qb/wish/816114720 scsha477 https://padlet.com/scsha477/vukvjhqgg7gyw5qb/wish/816116597 We were not able to blind our subjects given they know what group they are in and what they are doing, as well as their own satisfaction with their job. There is also no Double Blind in our experiment because each workout routine is based on that person's original goals and preferences, so we need to know who specifically is in each group. ]]> 2020-10-09 07:27:38 UTC https://padlet.com/scsha477/vukvjhqgg7gyw5qb/wish/816116597 scsha477 https://padlet.com/scsha477/vukvjhqgg7gyw5qb/wish/816120077 With 250 participants in each group, and five hundred people total, our margin of error is 4.4 percent for each group, and with such a small margin of error, help ensure our results are accurate and indicative of whether or not exercise affects someones' satisfaction with their job and how well they are able to work. ]]> 2020-10-09 07:31:13 UTC https://padlet.com/scsha477/vukvjhqgg7gyw5qb/wish/816120077 scsha477 https://padlet.com/scsha477/vukvjhqgg7gyw5qb/wish/816125546 My control group were the people who were happy with their job and did not exercise as well as the people who were not satisfied with their job and did not exercise.

Additionally, there was a small increase of 1.5 units for people who already enjoyed their job but did not exercise and a one point decrease for those who did not enjoy their job and did not exercise, showing a relation between excessing and job satisfaction since their was a clear increase in job happiness for those people who exercised during the survey. ]]> 2020-10-09 08:04:58 UTC https://padlet.com/scsha477/vukvjhqgg7gyw5qb/wish/816155159
