Discussion
1) What is (are) the hypothesis? You can either give me the “gist” of the study here or copy them from the researcher instructions for Study One.
2). Do you agree with the predictions? That is, do you expect something different than the hypothesis in the researcher instructions? If yes, what, and why? If no, justify why you think the predictions are inaccurate)?
3). Do you think this is a good, testable hypothesis (If not, what would be a better, more “testable” phrasing for the hypotheses)?
4). Do you see any ethical problems with this study? If so, how should you deal with those problems?
5). Finally, with your discussion group, assess your project, noting one thing different you would do if you had the chance to design a similar study on your own (Hint: You’ll get the chance to build a follow-up study to this
Psychological Reactance Theory study in a few weeks, so think about what you would do different right now and you may get the chance to follow through with that new study later in the semester!).
