Data Entry Instructions

Based on your observer number (linked off of the instructions page), enter your data in the similarly numbered empty Excel data file, which can be picked up from Blackboard.

The following table contains the variable names we've already placed in the data files along with the explanations for each.  When you see " ? " in a variable name below, it will be replaced by your personal observer number in your data file (you won't have to change anything about the variable names, the work has been done for you).  Note that there are 'm' variables and 'f' variables.  You will only be inputting data for the 'm' variables, not the 'f' variables.  Don't worry about this!!  We know what we're doing.  Finally, be sure to enter your personal data AT THE END OF THE DATA SET!!!!

It would be easiest if you enter your data in the order it was collected (trial 1-80). Remember the traits you rated the faces on were in a unique random order, however, the class data must be all entered in the same order so be sure to enter the trait data in the correct columns!!
When you are done entering your data, put in the Assignments file.

Please ask us if you are confused!!!

Rate each variable as indicated.
