Case: A fourth idea, and one I think is interesting, is adding in a "primacy effect" idea by having the "Social Media Post #1" words start positively and end negatively for some participants (positive condition) but start negatively and end positively for other participants (negative condition). Will recall differ if the valence of the words start positively versus negatively? It might be interesting to explore this possibility. If the "primacy effect" works (and idea that items at the start of a list are better remembered than items at the end of the list), the SR participants might recall more positive words in the positive condition and more negative words in the negative condition with no differences for FR participants.
As you can see, there are tons of ways to extend your original study. Work with your classmates to identify the one you like best, and then let your instructor know. Your instructor will take the consensus vote for the whole class and let you know what the study will be for study two. In this discussion, I want EACH of you to do three things.
First, tell me which study you want to do (that is, which second independent variable you find most interesting). You can use one of the ideas above or come up with a unique one on your own. I prefer your own ideas, but if you really like one I mentioned you can use it. You still need to give me two more things, though ...
Second, give me a reference in APA format for one peer reviewed research article that has something to do with this second variable. This article does not have to involve Self-Referencing at all, but it must have something to do with your second independent variable.
Third, give me a hypothesis for what you expect to occur if your new independent variable is chosen for the class project. What do you predict just for that independent variable? What do you predict in terms of the interaction of that new independent variable with your original Self-Reference Effect (Self-Rating vs Friend-Rating) independent variable?
1. Choose of of the ideas she chooses. Explain a bit more ab why you chose that.
2. Just get a random APA reference that relates to the idea. It can literally be anything just as long as it can relate with it in any form.
3. Just say what you think might happen with the idea you chose. Be sure to use the "if" [this happens] "then" [this happens]
