Presentation transcript:

Population Representative Sample ( larger the better) Experimental Group Control Group Apply Methods of control Apply methods of control Independent Variable Placebo Measure Dependent Variable Is the difference statistically significant? Random Assignment Everyone has equal chance. Random Sampling (aka Random Selection) This is the goal! EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN =

PERCEPTION EXPERIMENT Step One: Brainstorm ideas for an experiment. Remember: develop an idea based on a perceptual concept. Develop a hypothesis, with an independent variable and dependent variable. A good format for hypothesis: If ________, then _____. Operationally define variables.

INTRODUCTION – Why Am I Doing This Study? You will need to research your topic for the Introduction (review of past research, justify the logic of the study, and presenting your hypothesis) Check your textbook for background information. You need to cite two additional sources in your Introduction. Introduction: two pages; last sentence should be the hypothesis, with iv,dv, op def

METHOD – What Did I Do? Based on your description of the apparatus and procedures could someone replicate your experiment? Have separate sections labeled: Subjects (include description of population and method of selection), Procedures (you may number this), Materials and Apparatus

CONSENT FORM See website for link to a copy

RESULTS – What Did I Find? Graphs, charts, tables that present an analysis of your findings. You do NOT interpret the results in this section. You do not present the raw data here, but you should include it in an Appendix if required.

DISCUSSION - What is the Significance of My Findings? You relate your findings to your hypothesis and the theories you investigated. Did you support your hypothesis? A null hypothesis is one where no effect is expected. You may need to explain why you did not get the results you expected. Were there confounding variables, experimenter bias, etc.? Identify new or additional questions raised by your study.

REFERENCES – How Do I Give Credit Where Credit Is Due? Requirement: two sources in addition to textbook You need to use the APA style for your citations and reference page Place appropriate citations in the paper as well as including a reference page. It is better to overcite than to undercite.
