PLEASE BE SURE TO LEAVE THE PROMPTS BELOW IN YOUR DOCUMENT AND PLACE YOUR ANSWERS DIRECTLY UNDERNEATH THE CORREPSONDING QUESTION.
Experiment 1
1) Indicate the IV and its levels
2) Indicate the DV
3) Indicate the hypothesis
4) How many participants were studied?
5) List the procedure of the study step-by-step (BE SURE TO FOCUS ON SIMILARITIES and DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT CONDITIONS):
6) What kind of design isbeing used (e.g. post-test only between-groups, repeated measures)? Note: not explicitly stated by authors. To help identify the research design: identify whether participants experienced all levels of the IV (within-groups) or experienced only one level of the IV (between-groups); If it is a between-groups design, identify whether or not there was a pretest. If it is a within-groups design, identify whether they experienced all the levels at roughly the same time and then measured on the DV or did they experience them in a sequence/one at a timeand get measured on the DV after each level.
7) Did the data support the hypothesis? Explain. Put into words how the data supported the hypothesis (e.g. those in the ____ group did significantly better on the test than those in the ____group).
8) What two interpretations of the data did the authors propose?
9) What was the purpose of Experiment 2?
Experiment 2
1) Indicate the IV and its levels
2) Indicate the two DVs in this experiment
3) Indicate the hypothesis
4) How many participants were studied?
5) List the procedure of the study step-by-step (BE SURE TO FOCUS ON SIMILARITIES and DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT CONDITIONS):
6) What kind of design is being used (e.g. post-test only between-groups, repeated measures)? Note: not explicitly stated by authors
7) Did the data support the hypothesis? Explain.
8) What conclusions did the authors draw from the data from Experiments 1 and 2?
