Set Up My Psychological Experiment-50 points (5 points for each step)
After listening to the lecture and reading the chapter on Research Methods, you are now prepared to write
up a proposal for doing your own Psychological
experiment. Please note: you are not actually doing the
study. You
are writing up a report on how you might do it. You can write up your proposal by numbering
1-10 and following the steps below:
1. What is your idea? Put it in the form of a question. This is called an “empirical question.” For example,
you can say, “Will car drivers become angry when they are frustrated?” Your study
must involve setting up an experiment where you have two groups of people Randomly
Assigned to one of two groups.
2. Formulate an Hypothesis. State it in the form: “If
then
For example, “If car drivers are forced to take a detour, then they will show anger.
You may have more than one hypothesis, but make sure they do not contradict one another.
3. Next, Operationally Define all your terms. This is often where students falter.
Don’t say, “If I set up a road block in my neighborhood making cars travel an extra distance,
then drivers will be really angry when they get out of their car.”
What’s wrong with this statement?
1. What is “an extra distance”? Define it as: “travel one extra mile”
2. What is “really angry”? Define it as:
“Their face will show squinted eyes and a jutting jaw.
Their fists will be clenched. They will swear and say words such as
and
They will yell at their kids.”
Do you see how an Operational Definition works? You have defined your terms so well that
everyone knows exactly what you mean.
4. Define your
a. Independent Variable
b. Dependent Variable
In this case the Independent Variable is: People travelling an extra mile
The Dependent Variable is: Showing anger
5. Describe your participants and explain how you will put them into two (or more) groups
a. Demographics: What is the age range, gender, and race of your participants?
b. How are you going to RANDOMLY ASSIGN them to two (or more) groups?
c. How will your Control Group be treated exactly like your Experimental Group except for the
Independent Variable?
6. Describe your plan to control for any one or more of the following errors:
a. The Hawthorne Effect
b. The Placebo Effect
c. The Greenspoon Effect
d. Self-Fulfilling Prophecy
7. Explain how your study will be either a Single-Blind Study or a Double-Blind Study.
8. If your hypothesis is supported (remember, hypotheses are never proven, just supported) what
conclusion can you make about your study?
9. If someone was going to do your study again, how might they do it with another group of people to see
if the hypothesis is supported for that group as well?
10. What other conclusions would you like to make about the supposed results of your study?
