Couples Study Instructions
Running the Study
- Sign up on the "Couples Study" sign up sheet on
the bulletin board for three separate
25 minute intervals. This study is tiresome, so any
two time slots must be at least 30 minutes apart.
- During the first two intervals, you must
complete the ratings for 30 faces exactly- no more, no less (you can
take
a bit longer than 25 min, if you need it - this isn't being timed).
During
the third and last interval, you must complete the ratings for
20
faces (again, you can take a bit longer than 25 minutes if needed).
- When you're ready to run and NOT BEFORE, click on the "Click here
to Run" link off of the Methods page. Remember, DO NOT
open this link until you begin the study and only open it in the Lab.
- When you open the link, you will see the same
list of 80 numbers that Dr. Cannon showed you in lab. Click on
the numbers in the order you should have already determined with a
random number table.
- You will be rating the measures on a 7 point scale
ranging from (1) very strongly agree to (7) very strongly disagree.
