    Firstly, it is best not to use you in a thesis.

    IV: Identity of test subject (can be just their name, age, or whatever you want to base it on).

    DV: If you can tell they're lying. \

    Constants: Questions you ask, environment.

    Control: Use an internet search of body language as your control.

    But, I would not pick this for an experiment.

    the based variable may be the skill of the guy to touch their nostril with eyes close. the autonomous variables could be gender (male or woman), and noise point (whistle or shout) the variables do no longer look efficiently manipulated, simply by fact the two autonomous variables have been manipulated on the comparable time. to advance the test, it could be greater suitable to control first purely the gender, and as quickly as there is an answer to whether adult males or women did greater suitable, then noise point could nicely be manipulated. Have a 2 random team of scholars, enable a million team to get an entire night's sleep (approximately 8 restful hours) and the different team, cause them to stay unsleeping the night, or basically get a million to 2 hours of sleep. Then, have them take a math quiz which emphasizes innovations to word issues.
