My social influence on her will cause her to change her behavior, causing her to associate completing her work with being able to watch an episode of a Netflix show with me. Therefore, I assume that if I suggest that she watches Netflix every time she finishes her homework, she will do her work during the day and avoid spending the night.

The independent variable is what is being manipulated and the dependent variable is the outcome. Also, for a week I will ask her to watch Netflix after she finishes her homework to see if that will make her finish her work sooner. The following week, I will skip a day where I ask her to watch Netflix with me to observe if she will do a
