CHAPTER FIVE Chapter Five Journal Critique Independent and Dependent Variables From the title the reader can conclude that the independent variable is an emotion while the dependent variable is a false memory. Relevant Research Studies The introduction informs the reader that memory can be extremely unreliable and there are a number of factors that contribute to this happening. It was surprising to learn that people can recall events that never even happened, and how problematic this can be for various reasons. Frenda, Nichols, & Loftus, 2011 ; Loftus, 1979; Okado & Stark, 2005, is one of the earlier findings that was referenced in the article which stated that people who were exposed to misleading suggestions after an event occurs tended to incorporate those misleading suggestions into their accounts. Methods Section. I learned that the participants of the study consisted of UCI undergrad students. The design used six (condition) × 2 (true vs. false details) × 2 (goal - relevant vs. goal - irrelevant details). They were instructed to emphasize five feelings in different conditions, and the sixth condition was the control condition. Results. From the results section, I learned that the results were examined for whether or not the participants attributed suggested and non-suggested true and false details to the slides that they were shown. I learned from the graph the exact numbers for all six factors, including the control. Discussion Section. From the discussion section, I learned that this study examined how the effects of emotional elaboration made people more susceptible to misinformation. Something that stood out to me was the statement, “Susceptibility to false memories did not differ in function of mere emotionality or valence, but instead showed motivational influences”.
