Imagine you are a researcher interested in the effects of marijuana on beliefs in conspiracy theories. The study involves two groups, to which people are assigned by chance: Group A takes a pill that contains the active ingredient in cannabis, THC, while Group B are given a harmless placebo pill. Neither the people conducting the study nor the participants know who is getting the drug and who is not. After taking the pill and completing some filler tasks, participants are given a series of surveys to complete. One of these theories asks them to indicate the extent to which they believe in different conspiracy surveys (e.g., a secret group like the Illuminati controls the world, Obama was not born in the US & is secretly a Muslim, 9/11 was an inside job, the moon landing was faked). The independent variable in the above study is the placebo O paranoia O marijuana (THC) conspiracy theories surveys gender
