Answer to Question 1

In the Bond et al. study, they found that boys showed less depression as a result of bullying. However, the attrition rate for boys was larger than for girls. This might mean that boys who were affected by the bullying by becoming depressed may have dropped out of the study, whereas boys not so affected did not drop out. It would have distorted the effect of bullying on boys.
Further, there was more attrition for students from single-parent families. Perhaps people in such families are differentially susceptible to depression than are students from two-parent (or other) families.

Answer to Question 2

(a) Groups should be equivalent with respect to the DV at the start of the study.
(b) There should be no confounds or extraneous variables.
(c)) The IV and the DV should show construct validity.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
