In a factorial design study by Schnall and colleagues, private body consciousness was utilized as a non-manipulated independent variable alongside a manipulated variable. The researchers actively manipulated disgust by placing participants in either a clean or messy room, but they simply measured participants' pre-existing levels of private body consciousness. This illustrates how experimental studies often combine manipulated factors with measured participant variables to examine their joint effects.
