Looking Great Feeling Great Experiment

Participants are instructed to answer questions with their current partner in mind. If the respondent does not currently have a partner, he or she should answer with the most recent partner in mind (Hendrick & Hendrick, 1986). Each item asks respondents to reply to questions on a five-point Likert-type response scale indicating level of agreement. Below is a sample item from the scale.

In this chapter, I will analyse the data according to the principles proposed, such as Likert’s scale. According to the data collected, I will come out with certain conclusions to predict the respondents’

Despite the participants’ feelings of being uneasy after hearing screams from the other room, they all continue with the experiment after the conductor instructs them to. Having the conductor of the experiment in the

This experience consisted of 20 subjects from Woden plaza varying of age and gender. It also included one student who was going to conduct the experiment.

Moreover, this social experiment took place outside of Convocation Hall in the middle of the field. It was around 1:00PM and a mass amount of students were leaving their classes. The tester saw this as the best opportunity to begin. The tester

More than 70 applicants responded to the ad and were given interviews and personality tests which eliminated people with psychological problems, medical disabilities or a history of drugs or crime. Participants of the experiment. Where possible, participants (or their legal guardians if person is unable to give consent themselves) must be informed about the nature of research including the general aim, procedures used, possible risks, who and where results will be shared with. This must all be documented. Participants of the experiment had agreed to the prison stimulation for the duration of time stated but Dr Zimbardo failed to communicate the basic operations of the experiment. Prisoners of the experiment didn’t consent to being ‘arrested’ in their own homes. Zimbardo himself didn’t know what results the experiment would show but he was interested in finding out if the brutality of guards reported in American prison was due to guard’s sadistic personalities or had to do with the prison environment. The basic practices of the ethical code standards aren’t present in the experiment and is

In an obedience experiment run by Bryony Sheppard Psychology, participants were told to obey a sign on a washroom door in a high school that read “Exam in Progress. Do Not Enter”. Every participant was given the same speech, and were informed “informing them they has taken place in an experiment, what the experiment was testing, what their results showed, informed that they had been filmed and getting consent to use it later on and also (if participant entered) they were ensured that they were not that only ones that did it and it was an expected result”. 89% of the individuals involved in the experiment did not open the door, despite it not making any sense to them; they followed the direction of the sign. The conclusion was that signs, whether

A consent form was presented upon entry to the lab containing the purpose of the research, procedures involved, expected the duration of the experiment, potential benefits, potential risks, medical contact information, researcher contact information,

The consent of the parents is essential since the students are under eighteen years of age and the student themselves should provide assent. They will be given the opportunity to retract their participation at any point during the experiment as a way to seek the free, informed, and ongoing consent. The participants will be given a short briefing about what the experiment consists of. Parents, teachers, school and ethics boards will get a full briefing. The students will get a full debriefing at the end of the experiment. The surveys will be kept anonymous. However, the group exercise will be conducted without anonymity so as to create a connection with the students. All information given by the test subjects in the exercise would remain confidential and would not be recorded to allow for the students to speak freely. The students will be linked to numbers which will not be identifiable to a name and only used for continuity and

A survey was given out to all students who were interested in participating in the study. Anyone selected for the experiment had to be both mentally and physically healthy. This condition would help the operators behind the prison experiment determine what the change was in the actors if there was one. Students played not only the roles of prisoners

Selection and recruitment was limited to participants enrolled in PSY 2001, Research Methods in Psychology instructed by Professor Cheryl Stewart. Students who arrived to the course at 2:00pm on Tuesday November 18th were rendered participants of the “Charitable Giving Study.” Students were informed by the course instructor at the beginning of the course as well as the weeks prior to this date that the students will be participating in studies of their peers. Additional recruitment for supplementary participants was not needed, as this study was strictly conducted within the course. Fourteen participants consisting of three males and eleven females were involved in the “Charitable Giving Study”. Subjects are students studying at the University of Minnesota, Morris. Due to the lack of need of personal information and the sustainment of privacy, participants were asked to not submit any personal material verbally or on their questionnaire. Fourteen participants were all placed in a single experimental condition where three age based video clips were presented followed by filling out a questionnaire. Upon completion of the study, no participants dropped out, collected their own data, or requested that their data should not be used.

The study contained 100 participants between the ages of 18 to 22 from a small liberal arts university in central Texas. They were recruited from the cafeteria, through fliers, and by word of mouth on a volunteer basis. As an incentive for participating in the study, participants were given the choice of either adding their names to a raffle to win one of 25 different prizes, or they were given two extra credits points towards a psychology class. Participants filled out a prescreening survey for eligibility before participating. If participants were eligible to participate in our study, they were contacted to schedule a time to go into the psychology lab to run the study.

The method is a 9-point Likert scale used for a participant to rate a scenario based on how they feel about the situation at the current moment (Cash, Fleming, Alindogan, Steadman, & Whitehead, 2002). For example, the participant may be asked to respond to scenarios such as, “It is a day on the beach. You are there with some people you know and some people you don’t know, both men and women. Like everyone else, you are wearing a bathing suit. People are talking and laughing and just doing whatever they want.” (Cash, Fleming, Alindogan, Steadman, & Whitehead, 2002). After reading the scenario, the participant is asked to rate how this situation affected their perception and emotions according to each of the six categories the method measures. For the purposes of this study, 1 will be extremely positive in terms of body image perception, and 9 will be extremely negative.
