Refer to Research study 2 below to answer the following question Research Study 2: Dr. Fletcher is interested in whether joining a fraternity/sorority causes people to become more concerned about their attractiveness and appearance. He recruits a group of 55 freshmen (25 males, 30 females) who are planning to go through fraternity/sorority recruitment on his campus. After they join, he gives them a measure of attractiveness concern/appearance concern (the Body Concern Scale). In the question above, Dr. Fletcher measures them for the three weeks before and the three weeks after. Even though this type of design would be able to better address testing effects across time, Dr. Fletcher didn’t take into account that overtime people can have developmental, physical or psychological changes over time. What type of threat to internal validity is this?
