Methods II Preview Assignment Instructions
1). Psychological Purpose
The psychological purpose behind the Methods II Preview Assignment is to give you a brief preview to the paper you will write in Methods II next semester. Not only do I want you to see what will go into your eventual Methods II research paper, but I also want to make sure that you can write a clear, succinct paragraph for a research study that covers all of the relevant information needed to convey the important parts of a study in a single paragraph (i.e. an Abstract).
The Abstract is one of the first items readers see. You need to convey a lot of information in this very short paragraph, as the potential reader will decide whether to read your full paper based on the information in the Abstract. There are several elements needed in the Abstract about research studies, including information about: a) the research question(s), b) the participants, c) the experimental methodology, d) the findings, and e) the conclusions / implications. Being able to write a precise yet succinct Abstract takes some effort, so make sure you go through several drafts before settling on your final version. Make sure to include keywords / key phrases as well (keywords are an essential part of articles, as these are the words or phrases that library databases like PsycInfo provide to searchers interested in specific topics. Well, the authors actually recommended these keywords, so include them for this short Abstract Assignment).
2). APA Formatting Purpose
This Article Critique assignment should once again assess your ability to follow APA formatting guidelines. Use Chapter 14 in your Smith and Davis textbook for help, and look at the instructions on the next page for guidance with formatting
3). Writing Purpose
I want to make sure you can write clearly and specifically, summarizing what might be a 20 page paper in a single paragraph. This assignment serves that purpose.
Methods II Preview Assignment (Worth 20 Points)

Purpose of The Article Critique Paper
1). Psychological Purpose
This paper serves several purposes, the first of which is helping you gain insight into research papers in psychology. As this may be your first time reading and writing papers in psychology, one goal of Paper I is to give you insight into what goes into such papers. This article critique paper will help you learn about the various sections of an empirical research report by reading at least one peer-reviewed articles (articles that have a Title Page, Abstract*, Literature Review, Methods Section, Results Section, and References Page—I have already selected some articles for you to critique, so make sure you only critique one in the folder provided on Canvas) This paper will also give you some insights into how the results sections are written in APA formatted research articles. Pay close attention to those sections, as throughout this course you’ll be writing up some results of your own!
In this relatively short paper, you will read one of five articles posted on Canvas and summarize what the authors did and what they found. The first part of the paper should focus on summarizing the design the authors used for their project. That is, you will identify the independent and dependent variables, talk about how the authors carried out their study, and then summarize the results (you don’t need to fully understand the statistics in the results, but try to get a sense of what the authors did in their analyses). In the second part of the paper, you will critique the article for its methodological strengths and weaknesses. Finally, in part three, you will provide your references for the Article Critique Paper in APA format.
2). APA Formatting Purpose
The second purpose of the Article Critique paper is to teach you proper American Psychological Association (APA) formatting. In the instructions below, I tell you how to format your paper using APA style. There are a lot of very specific requirements in APA papers, so pay attention to the instructions below as well as Chapter 14 in your textbook! I highly recommend using the Paper I Checklist before submitting your paper, as it will help walk you through the picky nuances of APA formatting.
3). Writing Purpose
Finally, this paper is intended to help you grow as a writer. Few psychology classes give you the chance to write papers and receive feedback on your work. This class will! We will give you feedback on this paper in terms of content, spelling, and grammar.

Abstract
Two studies looked at eyewitness confidence in lineup studies. In study one, 551 undergraduate
participants saw a picture of a target “suspect”. They then viewed an eight person lineup that
altered the lineup instructions (they were told the target was either present, might be present, or
they were not given any information, though in reality the target “suspect” was always missing).
The authors predicted that participants would both choose a suspect and be more confident in
their choice when told the target was present compared to the other two conditions. Results
confirmed this prediction. In study two, 337 participants also received either the target present or
might not be present instructions, though they were given a lineup that differed in size (eight
versus four members). Like study one, participants in the target present condition chose and were
more confident in their choice than participants in the target might be present condition, but only
when given an eight person lineup. This implies that telling someone that a person is present in a
lineup can lead them to find a suspect, but only if they have a lot of lineup choices.
Keywords: target present, target absent, simultaneous lineups, confidence
Commented [LL1]: Abstract heading starts on its own

Purpose of Paper I: Study One Literature Review
1). Psychological Purpose
This paper serves several purposes, the first of which is helping you gain insight into research papers in psychology. As this may be your first time reading and writing papers in psychology, one goal of Paper I is to give you insight into what goes into such papers. This study one-lit review will help you a). better understand the psychology topic chosen for the course this semester (Facebook Consensus), b). learn about the various sections of an empirical research report by reading five peer-reviewed articles (that is, articles that have a Title Page, Abstract, Literature Review, Methods Section, Results Section, and References Page), and c). use information gathered from research articles in psychology to help support your hypotheses for your first study this semester (Facebook Consensus). Of course, you’ll be doing a study two literature review later in the semester, so think of this Paper I as the first part of your semester long paper. I recommend looking at the example Paper V, actually, to see what your final paper will look like. It might give you a better idea about how this current paper (as well as Papers II, III, and IV) all fit together into your final paper of the semester.
In this current paper (Paper I), you will read five research articles, summarize what the authors did and what they found, and use those summaries to support your Facebook Consensus study hypothesis. IMPORTANT: Yes you need five references, but keep in mind that you can spend a lot of time (a page or two!) summarizing one of them and a sentence or two summarizing others. Thus spend more time on the more relevant articles!
For this paper, start your paper broadly and then narrow your focus (think about the hourglass example provided in the lecture). My suggestion is to give a brief overview of your paper topic in your opening paragraph, hinting at the research variables you plan to look at for study one. Your next paragraphs will review prior research (those five references required for this paper). Make sure to draw connections between these papers, using smooth transitions between paragraphs. Your final paragraphs should use the research you just summarized to support your research hypothesis. And yes, that means you MUST include your study predictions (which we provided in the researcher instructions and the debriefing statement. Use them!). In other words, this first paper will look like the literature reviews for the five research articles you are summarizing for this assignment. Use the articles you are using as references as examples! See what they did and mimic their style! Here, though, you will end the paper after providing your hypothesi ...

Abstract
Two studies looked at eyewitness confidence in lineup studies. In study one, 551 undergraduate
participants saw a picture of a target “suspect”. They then viewed an eight person lineup that
altered the lineup instructions (they were told the target was either present, might be present, or
they were not given any information, though in reality the target “suspect” was always missing).
The authors predicted that participants would both choose a suspect and be more confident in
their choice when told the target was present compared to the other two conditions. Results
confirmed this prediction. In study two, 337 participants also received either the target present or
might not be present instructions, though they were given a lineup that differed in size (eight
versus four members). Like study one, participants in the target present condition chose and were
more confident in their choice than participants in the target might be present condition, but only
when given an eight person lineup. This implies that telling someone that a person is present in a
lineup can lead them to find a suspect, but only if they have a lot of lineup choices.

confirmed this prediction. In study two, 337 participants also received either the target present or
might not be present instructions, though they were given a lineup that differed in size (eight
versus four members). Like study one, participants in the target present condition chose and were
more confident in their choice than participants in the target might be present condition, but only
when given an eight person lineup. This implies that telling someone that a person is present in a
lineup can lead them to find a suspect, but only if they have a lot of lineup choices.
Keywords: target present, target absent, simultaneous lineups, confidence

Purpose of The Article Critique Paper
1). Psychological Purpose
This paper serves several purposes, the first of which is helping you gain insight into research papers in psychology. As this may be your first time reading and writing papers in psychology, one goal of Paper I is to give you insight into what goes into such papers. This article critique paper will help you learn about the various sections of an empirical research report by reading at least one peer-reviewed articles (articles that have a Title Page, Abstract*, Literature Review, Methods Section, Results Section, and References Page—I have already selected some articles for you to critique, so make sure you only critique one in the folder provided on Blackboard). This paper will also give you some insights into how the results sections are written in APA formatted research articles. Pay close attention to those sections, as throughout this course you’ll be writing up some results of your own!
In this relatively short paper, you will read one of five articles posted on blackboard and summarize what the authors did and what they found. The first part of the paper should focus on summarizing the design the authors used for their project. That is, you will identify the independent and dependent variables, talk about how the authors carried out their study, and then summarize the results (you don’t need to fully understand the statistics in the results, but try to get a sense of what the authors did in their analyses). In the second part of the paper, you will critique the article for its methodological strengths and weaknesses. Finally, in part three, you will provide your references for the Article Critique Paper in APA format.
2). APA Formatting Purpose
The second purpose of the Article Critique paper is to teach you proper American Psychological Association (APA) formatting. In the instructions below, I tell you how to format your paper using APA style. There are a lot of very specific requirements in APA papers, so pay attention to the instructions below as well as Chapter 14 in your textbook! I highly recommend using the Paper I Checklist before submitting your paper, as it will help walk you through the picky nuances of APA formatting.
3). Writing Purpose
Finally, this paper is intended to help you grow as a writer. Few psychology classes give you the chance to write papers and receive feedback on your work. This class will! We will give you feedback on this paper in terms of content, spelling, and grammar.
*Most peer-reviewed articles do include an abstract, but the articles you will see on Blackboard lack an Abstract. There is a good reason for this, which you’ll find out about in a later paper!

Purpose of Paper I: Study One Literature Review
1). Psychological Purpose
This paper serves several purposes, the first of which is helping you gain insight into research papers in psychology. As this may be your first time reading and writing papers in psychology, one goal of Paper I is to give you insight into what goes into such papers. This study one-lit review will help you a). better understand the psychology topic chosen for the course this semester (Facebook Consensus), b). learn about the various sections of an empirical research report by reading five peer-reviewed articles (that is, articles that have a Title Page, Abstract, Literature Review, Methods Section, Results Section, and References Page), and c). use information gathered from research articles in psychology to help support your hypotheses for your first study this semester (Facebook Consensus). Of course, you’ll be doing a study two literature review later in the semester, so think of this Paper I as the first part of your semester long paper. I recommend looking at the example Paper V, actually, to see what your final paper will look like. It might give you a better idea about how this current paper (as well as Papers II, III, and IV) all fit together into your final paper of the semester.
In this current paper (Paper I), you will read five research articles, summarize what the authors did and what they found, and use those summaries to support your Facebook Consensus study hypothesis. IMPORTANT: Yes you need five references, but keep in mind that you can spend a lot of time (a page or two!) summarizing one of them and a sentence or two summarizing others. Thus spend more time on the more relevant articles!
For this paper, start your paper broadly and then narrow your focus (think about the hourglass example provided in the lecture). My suggestion is to give a brief overview of your paper topic in your opening paragraph, hinting at the research variables you plan to look at for study one. Your next paragraphs will review prior research (those five references required for this paper). Make sure to draw connections between these papers, using smooth transitions between paragraphs. Your final paragraphs should use the research you just summarized to support your research hypothesis. And yes, that means you MUST include your study predictions (which we provided in the researcher instructions and the debriefing statement. Use them!). In other words, this first paper will look like the literature reviews for the five research articles you are summarizing for this assignment. Use the articles you are using as references as examples! See what they did and mimic their style! Here, though, you will end the paper after providing your hypothesi ...

WRITING 4.0: Documented Inquiry Project: Novel Analysis
English 1302
Spring 2015
Synopsis of the Task.
As noted on the assignment sheet for Writing #3.0, your fourth project of the term is your
documented study: a paper that centers on a question worthy of academic research. This
particular paper will focus on analysis of a novel that you selected. The paper will be six to
eight pages (double spaced) long, not counting the abstract, annotated bibliography, (see
“Ancillaries” below) or your works cited page.
There is no one way you are required to analyze your novel, but the research paper must contain
some kind of analysis, and that analysis should be the focal point of paper. This analysis could
critical, evaluative, comparative, or some combination thereof. As long as it is analysis based on
evidence both from the text itself and outside academic sources, it will work for the paper. You
may wish to use one or more of the modes of literary criticism that we have discussed in class.
Keep in mind, plot synopsis may be part of the paper, but it can take up no more than a
paragraph in the paper if you use a dedicated plot synopsis section. Any paper that is mostly plot
synopsis, or simply a report of information gathered about the novel, can receive a grade no
higher than a 70.
Ancillaries.
Besides the text itself, you will create an annotated bibliography based on the tentative list
of works to be used you wrote for Writing 3.0, and you will also create an abstract, which
should be about one paragraph in length. The rough drafts of the annotated bibliography and
the abstract will be revised into a final draft for this paper. The annotated bibliography
and abstract are required parts of this assignment.
Other things will also be due along the way the rest of the semester: notes for me to check,
revisions, and an oral presentation of your final paper to the class. Each of these is part of the
entire assignment; without them, your final grade for Writing 4.0 will suffer.
Format.
The paper should be typed or word-processed, double spaced, and can include headings. For any
other questions about using tables or surveys, please consult the writing center, any of the MLA
help websites we have discussed, our textbooks, or myself. Page numbers are required for
this paper, and should be placed in the upper right hand corner of each page.
Documentation and Sources.
Once again, MLA will be the citation system that you use for this assignment. As far as numbers
of sources to consider for a paper of this length, 6-8 reputable, academic sources would be
appropriate. Direct use of Wikipedia as a source will not be permitted. Sites such as
About.com, Sparknotes, Shmoop, and other “homework/study” sites will not be permitted.
General dictionaries and encyclopedias will also not be permitted.

Directions:Unless otherwise stated, answer in complete sentences, and be sure to use correct English spelling and grammar. Sources must be cited in APA format. Refer to the "Assignment Format" page for specific format requirements.
Instructions
In your course, turn to Lesson 8. Skim through it to refresh your memory. Next, carefully study and review the section titled “Approaches to Measuring Technological Progress.” Next, relying solely on the material in your course, use your own words in order to write a short comparison and contrast essay that defines and explains three distinct perspectives on the evolution of technology. As you write, imagine you are talking to a friend who has no knowledge of this topic. In short, write the way you speak, using a conversational tone. Also, try to alternate short sentences and longer sentences to make your writing more readable.
Before, during, or after you’ve completed your essay, be sure to create a title and cite yourself as the author. For example:
A Comparison of Three Perspectives on the Evolution of Technology
Heather Jones
Your essay should have 5 paragraphs. Paragraph 1 is your lead paragraph. It will contain an overview of what you have to say in comparing and contrasting the perspectives of Gerhard Lenski, Leslie White, and Alvin Toffler with respect to the evolution of technology.
Paragraphs 2, 3, and 4, are your body paragraphs. In your essay, paragraph 2 should describe the perspective of Gerhard Lenski.
In paragraph 3, you’ll write about the perspective of Leslie White.
In paragraph 4, you’ll describe and discuss the perspective of Alvin Toffler.
Paragraph 5 is your summary and conclusion paragraph. Here, you will compare the three perspectives to show how they are, or may be, similar. You’ll contrast the three perspectives to describe how they are different. You will end this process – and your essay – by expressing your view as to which theorist or theorists offer the most useful insights into the evolution of technology.
Mechanics
Your document’s margins should be 1 inch, top, bottom, left, and right. That’s the default option if you use MS Word.
All your copy should be flush left.
For purposes of evaluating your essay, skip a line between each paragraph.
Make sure you use a standard indent for the first sentence of each of your paragraphs. Pressing the tab key one time is a simple way to do that.
It’s permissible to use direct quotes from the lesson. But don’t overdo it. One to three such quotes should be your limit. In any case, be sure to bracket a direct quote with quotation marks. For example: According to Marlowe, “White and Lenski are on the same page.”
Begin by writing a first draft. Then, remembering that writing is rewriting, try and try again to make your prose readable. After you think you’ve composed a final draft, go over your essay again to locate and correct grammar and spelling errors.

In real life (as you probably know) a project manager is frequently confronted with the need to write a report and structuring the report for the audience is always a tricky thing to do.
However, a way of tackling the consolidated portfolio is to do the following: -
1. Introduction and summary of outcomes
1. Itemise each learning outcome: -
1. LO1
0. Summary
0. Evidence
1. LO2
1. Summary
1. Evidence
1. … etc.
1. Discussion and Conclusion
1. References
1. Appendix of the weeks
4. Week 1
4. Week 2
4. ... etc.
Without going overboard then when formatted bullets 1 to 3 above will be most likely 8 to 10 pages. It might be more, but it should not be less. Each LO would contain two to three paragraphs. The important thing is to say in the LO section how the student achieved the LO. This is done through the summary and the evidence that points to each week in the appendix.
In the course profile students are encouraged to imagine they are going before an interview panel and had been asked to show them how they could meet the job criteria (learning outcomes). So, as a prerequisite they had to prepare a paper for them.
The marking criteria can often be encapsulated into a four stage criteria: -
1. Does the section or topic meet all of the basic learning requirements relevant of the course, such as knowledge of fundamental concepts and performance of basic skills; demonstrates sufficient quality of performance to be considered satisfactory or adequate or competent or capable in relation to the learning outcomes of the assignment? (25%)
1. Does the section or topic reflect an ability to use and apply fundamental concepts and skills of the course, going beyond mere replication of content knowledge or skill to show understanding of key ideas, awareness of their relevance, some use of analytical skills, and some originality or insight? (50%)
1. Does the section or topic demonstrate awareness and understanding of deeper and less obvious aspects of the course, such as ability to identify and debate critical issues or problems, ability to solve non-routine problems, ability to adapt and apply ideas to new situations, and ability to invent and evaluate new ideas? (75%)
1. Has the section or topic been presented with imagination, originality or flair, based on proficiency in all the relevant learning outcomes of the course; work is interesting or surprisingly exciting, challenging, well read or scholarly? (100%)
This criterion is ADDITIVE. In other words, the last item (4) is inclusive of the previous ones (1, 2, and 3). If you feel that a student did most of 4 then you might give them 25% of the overall mark for the first criteria and then 25% of the overall mark for the second criteria and then 25% of the overall mark for.

Check this scenario out. Long term care can consists of servicing patients need at a patient's home, providing meals, transportation and in home therapy. Some long term care is within the home and some can be rehab. Lets say there is a growing need to extend those services to our growing need in elderly population. Part of that need is a demand for servicing the increasing population of the Hispanic community. We as a team need to meet with a cross- functional management team that can relay the need and services outside of the facility. We need hired people who are bilingual that can work the call center, deliver food, offer in home therapy, and provide transportation.
Our audience will be the new management team. Each member of the coordination of care team of management will cover or be responsible for one of those areas. Our standpoint will be that we are the board of directors that would be talking with them.

This assignment provides an opportunity for students to research a topic of interest on Memory or Learning You
WRITING 4.0: Documented Inquiry Project: Novel Analysis
English 1302
Spring 2015
Synopsis of the Task.
As noted on the assignment sheet for Writing #3.0, your fourth project of the term is your
documented study: a paper that centers on a question worthy of academic research. This
particular paper will focus on analysis of a novel that you selected. The paper will be six to
eight pages (double spaced) long, not counting the abstract, annotated bibliography, (see
“Ancillaries” below) or your works cited page.
There is no one way you are required to analyze your novel, but the research paper must contain
some kind of analysis, and that analysis should be the focal point of paper. This analysis could
critical, evaluative, comparative, or some combination thereof. As long as it is analysis based on
evidence both from the text itself and outside academic sources, it will work for the paper. You
may wish to use one or more of the modes of literary criticism that we have discussed in class.
Keep in mind, plot synopsis may be part of the paper, but it can take up no more than a
paragraph in the paper if you use a dedicated plot synopsis section. Any paper that is mostly plot
synopsis, or simply a report of information gathered about the novel, can receive a grade no
higher than a 70.
Ancillaries.
Besides the text itself, you will create an annotated bibliography based on the tentative list
of works to be used you wrote for Writing 3.0, and you will also create an abstract, which
should be about one paragraph in length. The rough drafts of the annotated bibliography and
the abstract will be revised into a final draft for this paper. The annotated bibliography
and abstract are required parts of this assignment.
Other things will also be due along the way the rest of the semester: notes for me to check,
revisions, and an oral presentation of your final paper to the class. Each of these is part of the
entire assignment; without them, your final grade for Writing 4.0 will suffer.
Format.
The paper should be typed or word-processed, double spaced, and can include headings. For any
other questions about using tables or surveys, please consult the writing center, any of the MLA
help websites we have discussed, our textbooks, or myself. Page numbers are required for
this paper, and should be placed in the upper right hand corner of each page.
Documentation and Sources.
Once again, MLA will be the citation system that you use for this assignment. As far as numbers
of sources to consider for a paper of this length, 6-8 reputable, academic sources would be
appropriate. Direct use of Wikipedia as a source will not be permitted. Sites such as
About.com, Sparknotes, Shmoop, and other “homework/study” sites will not be permitted.
General dictionaries and encyclopedias will also not be permitted.

Directions:Unless otherwise stated, answer in complete sentences, and be sure to use correct English spelling and grammar. Sources must be cited in APA format. Refer to the "Assignment Format" page for specific format requirements.
Instructions
In your course, turn to Lesson 8. Skim through it to refresh your memory. Next, carefully study and review the section titled “Approaches to Measuring Technological Progress.” Next, relying solely on the material in your course, use your own words in order to write a short comparison and contrast essay that defines and explains three distinct perspectives on the evolution of technology. As you write, imagine you are talking to a friend who has no knowledge of this topic. In short, write the way you speak, using a conversational tone. Also, try to alternate short sentences and longer sentences to make your writing more readable.
Before, during, or after you’ve completed your essay, be sure to create a title and cite yourself as the author. For example:
A Comparison of Three Perspectives on the Evolution of Technology
Heather Jones
Your essay should have 5 paragraphs. Paragraph 1 is your lead paragraph. It will contain an overview of what you have to say in comparing and contrasting the perspectives of Gerhard Lenski, Leslie White, and Alvin Toffler with respect to the evolution of technology.
Paragraphs 2, 3, and 4, are your body paragraphs. In your essay, paragraph 2 should describe the perspective of Gerhard Lenski.
In paragraph 3, you’ll write about the perspective of Leslie White.
In paragraph 4, you’ll describe and discuss the perspective of Alvin Toffler.
Paragraph 5 is your summary and conclusion paragraph. Here, you will compare the three perspectives to show how they are, or may be, similar. You’ll contrast the three perspectives to describe how they are different. You will end this process – and your essay – by expressing your view as to which theorist or theorists offer the most useful insights into the evolution of technology.
Mechanics
Your document’s margins should be 1 inch, top, bottom, left, and right. That’s the default option if you use MS Word.
All your copy should be flush left.
For purposes of evaluating your essay, skip a line between each paragraph.
Make sure you use a standard indent for the first sentence of each of your paragraphs. Pressing the tab key one time is a simple way to do that.
It’s permissible to use direct quotes from the lesson. But don’t overdo it. One to three such quotes should be your limit. In any case, be sure to bracket a direct quote with quotation marks. For example: According to Marlowe, “White and Lenski are on the same page.”
Begin by writing a first draft. Then, remembering that writing is rewriting, try and try again to make your prose readable. After you think you’ve composed a final draft, go over your essay again to locate and correct grammar and spelling errors.

Consolidated Portfolio - Structure Marking Guide.docxConsolidated Portfolio - Structure & Marking Guide
There are many possible approaches, and it is the intention to test how well the students are at tackling the problem. In real life (as you probably know) a project manager is frequently confronted with the need to write a report and structuring the report for the audience is always a tricky thing to do.
However, a way of tackling the consolidated portfolio is to do the following: -
1. Introduction and summary of outcomes
1. Itemise each learning outcome: -
1. LO1
0. Summary
0. Evidence
1. LO2
1. Summary
1. Evidence
1. … etc.
1. Discussion and Conclusion
1. References
1. Appendix of the weeks
4. Week 1
4. Week 2
4. ... etc.
Without going overboard then when formatted bullets 1 to 3 above will be most likely 8 to 10 pages. It might be more, but it should not be less. Each LO would contain two to three paragraphs. The important thing is to say in the LO section how the student achieved the LO. This is done through the summary and the evidence that points to each week in the appendix.
In the course profile students are encouraged to imagine they are going before an interview panel and had been asked to show them how they could meet the job criteria (learning outcomes). So, as a prerequisite they had to prepare a paper for them.
The marking criteria can often be encapsulated into a four stage criteria: -
1. Does the section or topic meet all of the basic learning requirements relevant of the course, such as knowledge of fundamental concepts and performance of basic skills; demonstrates sufficient quality of performance to be considered satisfactory or adequate or competent or capable in relation to the learning outcomes of the assignment? (25%)
1. Does the section or topic reflect an ability to use and apply fundamental concepts and skills of the course, going beyond mere replication of content knowledge or skill to show understanding of key ideas, awareness of their relevance, some use of analytical skills, and some originality or insight? (50%)
1. Does the section or topic demonstrate awareness and understanding of deeper and less obvious aspects of the course, such as ability to identify and debate critical issues or problems, ability to solve non-routine problems, ability to adapt and apply ideas to new situations, and ability to invent and evaluate new ideas? (75%)
1. Has the section or topic been presented with imagination, originality or flair, based on proficiency in all the relevant learning outcomes of the course; work is interesting or surprisingly exciting, challenging, well read or scholarly? (100%)
This criterion is ADDITIVE. In other words, the last item (4) is inclusive of the previous ones (1, 2, and 3). If you feel that a student did most of 4 then you might give them 25% of the overall mark for the first criteria and then 25% of the overall mark for the second criteria and then 25% of the overall mark for.

Check this scenario out. Long term care can consists of servicing patients need at a patient's home, providing meals, transportation and in home therapy. Some long term care is within the home and some can be rehab. Lets say there is a growing need to extend those services to our growing need in elderly population. Part of that need is a demand for servicing the increasing population of the Hispanic community. We as a team need to meet with a cross- functional management team that can relay the need and services outside of the facility. We need hired people who are bilingual that can work the call center, deliver food, offer in home therapy, and provide transportation.
Our audience will be the new management team. Each member of the coordination of care team of management will cover or be responsible for one of those areas. Our standpoint will be that we are the board of directors that would be talking with them.

250 words discussion not an assignementThe purpose of this discuss.docxjeanettehully
250 words discussion not an assignement
The purpose of this discussion is to gain a more complete awareness of the extent of socio-environmental influences impacting the development of adolescents. Triandis (as cited in Coon and Kemmelmeier, 2001) states, "Individualism and collectivism are broadly defined cultural syndromes that encompass a number of elements, including values, norms, goals, and behaviors" (Coon and Kemmelmeier, 2001, p. 348).
Consider the audio piece in this unit's studies (also linked in the Resources) that compares two teens' viewpoints of life within their cultural domains. This piece highlights the impact of family, community, and cultural beliefs and values on an individual's development. For your initial post in this discussion, explore these influences by addressing the following questions:
How does exposure to media influence the manner in which adolescents develop?
How does exposure to peers influence development in both systems?
Using the reading from the textbook on risky behaviors, how might adolescents' influences and understanding of risk be different, based on their culture and expectations of self?
The optional reading in this unit's studies may provide additional information to support your post, if you choose to use it.
Response Guidelines
Respond to one learner by supporting his or her analysis of the two teens with additional information you have acquired outside of the textbook. Cite and reference your source with proper APA formatting. Be sure to address concepts in the post and find any similarities in your thinking as well.

A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

Methods II Preview Assignment Instructions (Worth 40 Points)

Florida International University
Methods II Preview Assignment Instructions
1). Psychological Purpose
The psychological purpose behind the Methods II Preview
Assignment is to give you a brief preview to the paper you will
write in Methods II next semester. Not only do I want you to
see what will go into your eventual Methods II research paper,
but I also want to make sure that you can write a clear, succinct
paragraph for a research study that covers all of the relevant
information needed to convey the important parts of a study in a
single paragraph (i.e. an Abstract).
The Abstract is one of the first items readers see. You need to
convey a lot of information in this very short paragraph, as the
potential reader will decide whether to read your full paper
based on the information in the Abstract. There are several
elements needed in the Abstract about research studies,
including information about: a) the research question(s), b) the
2. participants, c) the experimental methodology, d) the findings,
and e) the conclusions / implications. Being able to write a
precise yet succinct Abstract takes some effort, so make sure
you go through several drafts before settling on your final
version. Make sure to include keywords / key phrases as well
(keywords are an essential part of articles, as these are the
words or phrases that library databases like PsycInfo provide to
searchers interested in specific topics. Well, the authors
actually recommended these keywords, so include them for this
short Abstract Assignment).
2). APA Formatting Purpose
This Article Critique assignment should once again assess your
ability to follow APA formatting guidelines. Use Chapter 14 in
your Smith and Davis textbook for help, and look at the
instructions on the next page for guidance with formatting
3). Writing Purpose
I want to make sure you can write clearly and specifically,
summarizing what might be a 20 page paper in a single
paragraph. This assignment serves that purpose.
Methods II Preview Assignment (Worth 20 Points)
You will read a paper written by an actual Research Methods
and Design II student from a prior semester. This paper includes
two studies the student conducted, with Study One introducing
the main variables and Study Two offering an extension with
replication of Study One. Your job is to read the whole paper
and then answer the following.
You will have a CANVAS quiz to upload your answers
In Part One, Answer the following (1 point for each question, or
9 points total):
1. What is the hypothesis for study one? Please give me both the
null and alternative hypotheses when you answer this question
2. What is the independent variable(s) for study one? Make sure
you tell me how many IVs there are and how many levels there
are for each IV
3. What is the dependent variable(s) for study one? Note: there
3. are several of these, so focus on the ones the author analyzed.
4. What did they find in study one? Give the general outcome
5. What is the hypothesis for study two? Please give me both
the null and alternative hypotheses when you answer this
question
6. What is the independent variable(s) for study two? Make sure
you tell me how many IVs there are and how many levels there
are for each IV
7. What is the dependent variable(s) for study two? Note: there
are several of these, so focus on the ones the author analyzed.
8. What did they find in study two? Give the general outcome
9. I want you to review the references and spot the reference(s)
that is (are) not in APA format and rewrite it for me according
to APA rules.
Note: there may be as few as zero and as many as ten incorrect
references, so make sure to look at them all!
In Part Two, write an abstract for the paper! Use the
information from Part One to paraphrase the study. The entire
paper should be summarized in one short paragraph (150 to 200
word maximum). Note: there are two studies, and you must
mention both. Yes, this is tough, but authors often summarize
(in the same short abstract) papers that they wrote that may
include six or seven different studies!
Tip: Find the overlap between both studies and discuss both
simultaneously. For example, “Both studies looked at X, but
study two also examined Y.” Make sure your abstract starts at
the top of its own page (it should be all on its own).
Your abstract submission should include the following (1 point
each, or 7 points total):
Title Page (1 point)
1. For your title page, follow the same guidelines as your article
critique paper. You can include the same title and header as the
study you are looking at, but make sure to put YOUR OWN
NAME as the author.
4. 2. Your assignment should be in APA format in all respects
(appropriate headers with running head and page numbers;
correct references where needed; correct alignment of the
headings, subheadings, fonts, spacing, etc.)
Abstract Page (7 points)
1. Include the word “Abstract” at the top of your abstract
2. Identify the general problem or research question (the
hypotheses) for both studies.
3. Note the participants for both studies
4. Note the IVs and DVs for the studies
5. Note the findings for both studies
6. Note the overall conclusions / implications of the two studies
7. Please include keywords for the study (at least 5 keywords or
phrases – these are not included in the total word count)
Writing Quality (3 points)
1. Avoid run-on sentences, sentence fragments, spelling errors,
and grammar errors.
2. The writing should be PERFECT here. You will lose a point
for each writing error, so proofread, proofread, and proofread
some more!
3. Get a group member to review it for you! Review their
abstract!
Total points possible: 20 points
Other guidelines for the Abstract Assignment
1. Upload your paper through available assignment CANVAS

COLOR PRIMING AND FOREWARNING 3
The Influence of Color Priming and Forewarning on Anagram
16. Performance
Colors are an essential part of life, from warning us of
poisonous creatures to describing
our emotions, they have proven their worth. Certain colors can
be perceived in specific situations
or attributed to a particular emotion. For instance, priming of
sadness can lead to perception of
the color blue, whereas priming of anger can lead to perception
of the color red (Fetterman,
Robinson, Gordon, & Elliot, 2011). The central aim of our study
is to explore the effect priming
with a specific color has on anagram performance.
Priming is defined as the unconscious influence that a stimulus
has on the agility or
accuracy in performing a task (Schacter & Rajendra, 2001).
According to Jefferis and Fazio
(2008), priming impacts behaviors by informing the person if
they have met the demands of the
situation. The influence priming has on behavior is shaped by
what one perceives in a particular
situation. For example, priming the color red in the context of
romantic attraction would have a
different response than priming the color red in an achievement
situation, situations in which
17. there is a possibility for success or failure and competence is
measured (Elliot, Maier, Binser,
Friedman, & Pekrun, 2009). In the context of romantic
attraction, the color red unconsciously
increases perceived attractiveness of another person (Elliot &
Niesta, 2008). With regards to
achievement, the color red elicits avoidance behavior due to its
association with factors such as
the red in alarms that suggest danger (Elliot, Maier, Moller,
Friedman, & Meinhardt, 2007; Elliot
et al., 2009).
To study the influence that red has on achievement, Elliot et al.
(2007) designed a study
that involved color priming and used anagram performance as a
representation of achievement.
In one of the experiments conducted, the colors red, green, and
black were used to test anagram
performance. Participants were assigned to the color conditions
(red, green, or black) through the
COLOR PRIMING AND FOREWARNING 4
process of random assignment. First participants were given a
18. practice test and later they were
given the real anagram test. Before completing the real anagram
test, participants were told to
check that all of the pages contained their participant number.
The numbers were written in red,
green, or black ink at the top of every page of the test. Results
showed that exposure to red,
compared to green or black, on achievement tasks impaired
performance.
In accordance with the idea that color affects performance,
Steele (2014) recreated a
study that hypothesized that words associated with avoidance
were solved faster on a red
background and words associated with approaching were solved
faster on a blue background.
Participants were asked to complete an anagram task in which
instructions for the task were
written in black letters on a white, red, or blue background. The
words were linked to activating
either approach, avoidance, or neutral motivation. The findings
opposed those of the previous
study that Steele (2004) replicated. The previous study reported
that a red background would
result in faster solution of avoidance words and that a blue
19. background would result in faster
solution of approach words. Steele’s study found that words
classified as avoidance were solved
slower on the red background compared to approach and neutral
words. Similarly, words
classified as approach were solved slower on the blue
background. An implication as to why the
result of the replicated study were contradictory to those of the
original study suggested that
words classified as avoidance, approach, or neutral were
actually classified in the wrong group.
Study One
To further explore the impact that color priming has on anagram
performance, we
designed a study in similar fashion to Elliot et al. (2007), in
which participants completed an
anagram task after priming for a specific color. Each participant
was given an identical anagram
task to complete but with instructions for the anagram task
written in red, green, or black ink. We
COLOR PRIMING AND FOREWARNING 5
20. predicted that participants given red ink will perform worse on
the anagram task than those given
green or black ink instructions. That is, red ink participants will
correctly unscramble fewer
words than participants given both green ink and black ink,
whom we do not expect will differ in
their anagram performance. We also predicted that participants
given red ink (compared to green
or black ink) will find the anagram task more challenging for
themselves and others and will find
it more frustrating. They will also think that they will perform
worse on the task when given red
ink. However, we predicted that all participants, regardless of
ink color, will believe that the ink
color did not affect them.
Methods
Participants
There were 115 participants in our study. Of these, 55 were
male (47.8%) and 60 were
female (52.2%). The age of the sample ranged from 12 to 69 (M
= 26.22, SD = 9.63). This
included 19.1% Caucasian (N = 22), 59.1% Hispanic (N = 68),
6.1% Native American (N = 7),
21. 5.2% African American (N = 6), 4.3% Asian (N = 5), and 6.1%
of participants reporting “other”
(N = 7).
Materials and Procedure
Potential participants were randomly approached and informed
of the possible risks and
benefits of participating in the study. If the potential participant
verbally agreed to take part in
the study, he or she was presented with one of three anagram
questionnaires. The questionnaires
contained instructions written in red, green, or black ink; this
color manipulation was our
independent variable. Each of the anagram questionnaires
consisted of three identical parts and
only differentiated in the color with which the instructions were
written.
COLOR PRIMING AND FOREWARNING 6
In the first part of the questionnaire, the participants were
given a timed anagram task to
complete. Without hinting to the color manipulation,
participants were reminded to read the
22. questionnaire instructions carefully and to inform the researcher
when they were ready to begin
so that the researcher could start the timer. The anagram task
consisted of 20 scrambled words
that the participants had to unscramble by using all of the
original letters to form a new word.
For example, BMTUH had to be correctly unscrambled to spell
out the word THUMB. The
participants were given three minutes to unscramble as many
words as they could and were
notified when they had one minute left to finish the task. After
the three minutes, participants
were told to stop and to move on to the next part of the
questionnaire.
Part two of the questionnaire consisted of six questions about
the anagram task that the
participants completed. These six questions were part of our
dependent variables. In the first four
questions the participants recorded their response on a scale of
one to nine. In these questions the
participant recorded how challenging the task was for them (1 =
not at all challenging, 9 =
extremely challenging), how challenging they thought other
participants found the task (1 = not
23. at all challenging, 9 = extremely challenging), how frustrating
they found the task (1 = not at all
frustrating, 9 = very frustrating), and how they thought they did
on the anagram task (1 = very
poorly, 9 = very well). The fifth question gave us insight as to
whether the participants did or did
not pay attention to the study manipulation. This fifth question
asked the participants to recall the
color of the ink used for the instructions (red, green, black, or
blue). The last question asked the
participants the extent to which the color ink on the instructions
influenced their performance on
the anagram task (1 = decreased my number correct, 9 =
increased my number correct).
Part three of the questionnaire asked for the participants’
demographic information. The
participants were asked about their gender, age, race/ ethnicity,
whether or not English was their
COLOR PRIMING AND FOREWARNING 7
first language, if they were a student at Florida International
University, and if they were
colorblind. Participants were informed that they were free to
24. leave blank any of the questions
they did not wish to answer in this section. At the end of the
study, the participants were
debriefed on the study conditions and hypothesis and were
given the answer key to the correct
unscrambled word for the anagram task. Once the study was
completed and the participants
debriefed, we used the answer key to determine the number of
correct anagrams the participant
solved. Participants were given one point for each anagram they
correctly unscrambled so that
the scores would range from zero to twenty.
Our study consisted of seven dependent variables; however, the
main dependent variable
of our study is the number of correct anagrams the participants
solved. We predicted that
participants given red ink will perform worse on the anagram
task than those given green or
black ink instructions. We also predicted that all participants,
regardless of ink color, will believe
that the ink color did not affect them.
Results
A chi-square test was done to determine if participants correctly
25. recalled the color of the
ink used in the instructions. Using color manipulation (red,
green, or black) as our independent
variable and the color ink participants recalled seeing as the
dependent variable, we saw a
significant effect, X2(6) = 153.38, p < .001. Participants in the
red condition recalled seeing red
(87.2%); participants in the green condition recalled seeing
green (84.6%); and participants in
the black condition recalled seeing black (83.8%). Phi showed a
large effect. This indicated that
participants were cognizant of our manipulation (the color of
the instructions).
To evaluate our main dependent variable, we ran a One-Way
ANOVA with color
manipulation (Red v. Green v. Black) as our independent
variable and the number of anagrams
COLOR PRIMING AND FOREWARNING 8
participants correctly solved as our dependent variable. The
ANOVA was significant, F(2, 112)
= 7.20, p < .05. In order to investigate differences in the means,
we ran a Tukey LSD post hoc
26. test. This showed that participants solved fewer anagrams in the
red condition (M = 4.87, SD =
1.34) than in both the green (M = 5.72, SD = 1.16) and black (M
= 6.10, SD = 1.81) conditions.
The green and black groups, however, did not differ from each
other. This supported our
hypothesis that participants given instructions in red ink would
perform worse on the anagram
task than participants who were given instructions in green or
black ink.
Another dependent variable we were interested in was whether
or not participants
believed that the color of ink used in the instructions affected
the number of anagrams they
correctly solved. To evaluate this, we ran a One-Way ANOVA
with color manipulation (Red v.
Green v. Black) as our independent variable and participant
belief of color influence as our
dependent variable. The ANOVA was not significant, F(2, 112)
= 1.54, p > .05. This supported
our hypothesis that, regardless of ink color, participants would
believe the color ink used in the
instructions did not affect them. In this situation, participants in
the red condition (M = 3.18, SD
27. = 1.59), the green condition (M = 3.10, SD = 1.41), and the
black condition (M = 2.65, SD =
1.23) did not differ from one another. Given the fact that the p-
value for the ANOVA test was
not significant, we did not need to run a post hoc test.
Discussion
We predicted that instructions written in red ink will impair
participant performance on
an anagram task as opposed to instructions written in green or
black ink. That is, participants
given instructions written in red ink will correctly unscramble
fewer words than participants
given instructions written in green ink or black ink, whom we
did not expect to differ in their
anagram performance. We also predicted that all participants,
regardless of ink color, would
COLOR PRIMING AND FOREWARNING 9
believe that the ink color did not affect them. Results supported
both of our hypotheses.
Participants in our red condition solved fewer anagrams than
those in the green and black
28. condition, whose performance did not differ. Also participants
did not believe that ink color had
any effect on their anagram performance. If participants who
were given instructions in red ink
were unaware of the influence the color red had on their
performance, what would happen if
participants were forewarned about the influence of color on
performance? Would participants
given instructions in red ink perform much worse while
participants given black ink instructions
perform much better in the anagram task? Would there be no
change in performance? Will we
see other changes? We will explore the influence of forewarning
on our second study.
Study Two
As social creatures, humans are constantly influencing and
being influenced by the
environment. For example, color has the ability to affect
people’s behavioral responses.
However, people may be unaware of these influences on their
opinions, behaviors, and actions.
Would forewarning of these influences change the ways in
which people otherwise react in a
29. particular situation? The central aim of our second study is to
examine the impact that
forewarning has on performance. Specifically, we want to
examine the impact that forewarning
on the negative effects of the color red has on anagram
performance.
A study conducted by Petty and Cacioppo (1977), examined the
effects that forewarning
about the content of a message had on resisting persuasion. In
one if their experiments,
researchers wanted to see if participants who were forewarned
about the content of a message
produced counterarguments because they were motivated to do
so. Sixty introduction to
psychology students were randomly assigned to the study
conditions: warning and instructed to
write topic thoughts, no warning and instructed to write topic
thoughts, warning and instructed to
COLOR PRIMING AND FOREWARNING 10
write actual thoughts, no warning and instructed to write actual
thoughts. Students were told that
a psychologist from the counseling center was going to speak to
30. them. Before the psychologist
gave his speech, they were given a questionnaire to complete.
Participants in the warning
condition read that the psychologist will be talking about why
all freshmen and sophomores
should be required to live on campus (a topic in which the
students’ opinions differed from those
of the speaker). Participants in the no warning condition read
that the psychologist will be talking
about conclusions he generated in his time working at the
counseling center. After a silent three
minutes, participants were asked to move on to the next part of
the questionnaire. The next part
asked participants in the actual thoughts condition to record all
the thoughts they had during the
last three minutes. Participants in the topic thought condition
were asked to record their thoughts
on the matter of freshmen and sophomores being required to
live on campus. Afterwards, the
psychologist gave his speech on why freshmen and sophomores
should be required to live on
campus. Results showed that participants in the warned
condition and the no warning but
instructed to write topic thoughts condition had more resistance
31. to persuasion because thinking
about the topic allowed them to come up with
counterarguments.
Leon, Rotunda, Sutton, and Schlossman (2003), studied the
influence of online
forewarning on ratings of attraction. Participants were randomly
assigned to the forewarning
group or the no forewarning group. All of the participants used
a computer to go to the web page
that contained a general statement about the Internet.
Participants in the forewarning condition
additionally received information about the use of deception in
the Internet. The next part of the
study consisted of navigating through four web pages that
contained photographs of a person of
the opposite sex. The participant then rated the attractiveness of
each photo and answered
questions about the likeliness of interacting with the person
whose photo they saw. Results
COLOR PRIMING AND FOREWARNING 11
showed that participants forewarned about the use of deception
on the Internet perceived the
32. photo shown as less attractive than those who were not
forewarned about the use of deception.
They were also less likely to express the desire of further
interaction with the person through
engaging in online chats. These results were consistent with
those of Petty and Cacioppo (1977)
in the idea that when forewarned of persuasiveness, people will
become more resistant to that
persuasion. In this case, participants became more resistant to
deception. In the case of our
second study, we predict that participants forewarned about the
influence of red on anagram
performance will perform better than those who were not
forewarned due to participants
developing resistance.
Weber and Bizer (2006), studied the effects that forewarning
about exam difficulty had
on test performance. The researchers hypothesized that
forewarning of test difficulty would
boost performance in students with low anxiety but decrease
performance in students with high
anxiety. Before random assignment into one of the three
experimental conditions, researchers
33. measured the level of dispositional anxiety each participant had
by having them complete a trait-
anxiety questionnaire. Participants were randomly assigned to:
the forewarned condition in
which they were told that the test was difficult, the forewarned
condition in which they were told
that the test would be easy, or the no forewarning condition.
Then participants were told that they
would be completing a version of a previous GRE and that this
test should be taken seriously.
Results showed that students with low trait anxiety performed
better when forewarned about the
test being difficult as opposed to easy. Students with high trait
anxiety performed worse when
forewarned that the test would be difficult as opposed to easy.
To expand further research on the topic of forewarning, we have
devised a study that
looks at the effect that forewarning of the color red has on
anagram performance. Participants
COLOR PRIMING AND FOREWARNING 12
were randomly assigned to a forewarning or a no forewarning
condition. In the no forewarning
34. condition participants were given an anagram task with
instructions written in either red or black
ink. In the forewarning condition participants were informed
about the effect that the color red
has on performance before given an anagram task with
instruction written in either red or black
ink.
In accordance with study one, we predicted that participants
who were given red ink
instructions will solve fewer anagrams than those given black
ink. We also predicted that those
given a warning about ink color and anagram performance will
perform better on the anagram
task as compared to those who were not forewarned. We
predicted that frustration will impact
participants’ performance. Specifically, we predicted that those
in the black ink condition
regardless of warning will find the anagram task less frustrating
than those in the red ink
condition. Those in the red ink condition who were forewarned
will find the task less frustrating
than those who were not forewarned. We expected no difference
in the level of frustration of
35. those in the black ink condition who received a warning. We
predicted that when asked how
frustrating they thought other participants found the task, there
will be no difference in the red
ink and black ink conditions. We also predicted that those in the
red ink condition would feel
they would have performed better if they were not forewarned
vs. those in the black ink
condition who would feel forewarning would not have made a
difference in their performance.
Methods
Participants
There were 227 participants in study two. Of these, 82 were
male (37.1%) and 139 were
female (62.9%). The age of the sample ranged from 15 to 63 (M
= 23.51, SD = 7.58). This
COLOR PRIMING AND FOREWARNING 13
included 14.4% Caucasian (N = 32), 68.5% Hispanic (N = 152),
9.0% African American (N =
20), 1.4% Asian (N = 3), and 6.8% of participants reporting
“other” (N = 15).
36. Materials and Procedure
Potential participants were asked to partake in an online study
with the benefit of aiding
the completion of our research. If the potential participant
agreed to take part in the study, he or
she was given the link of the online survey created through
Qualtrics, a survey software. Before
starting the survey, the participants were presented with an
online consent form that informed
them of the possible risks and benefits of participating in the
study, and had to indicate their
agreement by clicking the “I choose to participate” button in
order to continue with the study.
Our study two was composed of four parts and used the same
color manipulation as in study one,
but instead of three conditions we used two conditions (red ink
and black ink).
In the first part of the study, participants were randomly
assigned to one of four
conditions: forewarning red, forewarning black, no forewarning
red, no forewarning black. In the
forewarning red condition, participants were forewarned about
the color red and then given
instructions written in red ink. In the forewarning black
37. condition, participants were forewarned
about the color red and then given instructions written in black
ink. In the no forewarning red
condition, participants were not forewarned about the color red
and received instructions written
in red ink. In the no forewarning black condition, participants
were not forewarned about the
color red and received instructions written in black ink.
Participants in the forewarning condition
were given a statement that read “The color red may carry the
meaning of failure and avoidance
in achievement contexts. It may unconsciously affect levels of
frustration and anxiety, which in
turn leads to poor performance levels. Prior research suggests
that participants whom are given
instructions in red may experience higher levels of frustration
and solve fewer anagrams than
COLOR PRIMING AND FOREWARNING 14
participants given instructions in black”. All participants
received anagram tests with identical
parts and only differentiated in the color of the instructions (red
ink or black ink).
38. Resembling study one, the second part of the study exposed
participants to the
instructions of the anagram test which were written in either red
ink or black ink. Once the
participants read the instructions they had to click the
“continue” button to begin the anagram
test. The test used different anagrams from those of study one.
The anagram test consisted of 20
scrambled words and the participant had to unscramble as many
as they could in three minutes.
A timer on the computer screen indicated when the three
minutes had passed. After the three
minutes, participants were able to view the answers to the
anagram test and calculate their score.
One point was given for each right answer.
In the third part of the study, participants were presented with
seven questions about the
anagram task they completed. These seven questions were part
of our dependent variables. The
first question asked the participants to record how many
anagrams they correctly solved. The
second question gave us insight as to whether the participants
were attentive to the color
39. manipulation. This second question asked the participants to
recall the color of the ink used for
the instructions (black, red, green, or blue). On the last five
questions the participants recorded
their responses on a scale of one to nine. In these questions
participants recorded how
challenging the task was for them (1 = not at all challenging, 9
= very challenging), how
frustrating they found the task (1 = not at all frustrating, 9 =
very frustrating), if they thought
forewarning of the effects of the color red on performance
would cause someone to perform
better or worse than someone not warned (1 = worse than
someone not warned, 9 = better than
someone not warned), to what extent the color ink on the
instructions influenced their
performance (1 = decreased my number correct, 9 = increased
my number correct), and to what
COLOR PRIMING AND FOREWARNING 15
extent did being forewarned influence their performance (1 =
decreased my number correct, 9 =
increased my number correct).
40. The fourth part of our study asked for the participants’
demographic information. These
questions asked for their gender, age, ethnicity, if English was
their first language, if they were a
student at Florida International University, and if they were
colorblind. After completing the
study, the participants were debriefed on the study conditions
and hypothesis.
Our study two consisted of seven dependent variables; however,
our main interest was
the number of anagrams participants correctly solved. Another
dependent variable we analyzed
was the extent participants thought that being forewarned
influenced their performance. We also
analyzed the interaction between ink color and forewarning.
Results
A manipulation check using color manipulation (red or black
ink) as the independent
variable and the color ink participants recalled seeing as the
dependent variable was significant,
χ2 (1) = 31.62, p < .001. Most participants in the red ink
condition correctly recalled that the
instructions were written in red (65%) while most participants
41. in the black in condition correctly
recalled that the instructions were written in black (67.7%). Phi
showed a medium effect. This
indicated that participants were cognizant of the ink color in the
instructions (See Appendix A).
To evaluate our main dependent variable, we ran a 2 X 2
factorial ANOVA with color
condition (red v. black) and forewarning condition (forewarning
v. no forewarning) as our
independent variables and the number of anagrams participants
correctly solved as our dependent
variable. There was no main effect for forewarning, F(1, 223) =
2.68, p > .05. This indicated that
there was no difference in the number of anagrams correctly
solved in the no forewarning (M =
8.31, SD = 4.49) versus forewarning (M = 9.13, SD = 4.83)
conditions. We found a significant
COLOR PRIMING AND FOREWARNING 16
condition effect for the color condition, F(1, 223) = 8.70, p <
.05. Participants solved more
anagrams in the black condition (M = 9.53, SD = 4.87) than the
red condition (M = 7.74, SD =
42. 4.24). We also analyzed the interaction between the independent
variables (color condition and
forewarning condition) and the dependent variable (number of
anagrams correct). We found a
significant interaction effect between color condition and
forewarning condition, F(1, 223) =
8.07, p < .05. First, in the red condition, simple effects showed
that participants solved more
anagrams in the forewarning condition (M = 9.10, SD = 4.40)
than the no forewarning condition
(M = 6.40, SD = 3.64), F(1, 101) = 11.48, p < .05. Second, in
the black condition, simple effects
showed that participants solved a similar number of anagrams in
the forewarning (M = 9.16, SD
= 5.19) and no forewarning (M = 9.89, SD = 4.54) conditions,
F(1, 122) = 0.69, p > .05. Third,
for participants in the no forewarning condition, simple effects
tests showed they solved more
anagrams in the black condition (M = 9.89, SD = 4.54) than the
red condition (M = 6.40, SD =
3.64), F(1, 113) = 19.98, p < .05. Fourth, for participants who
were forewarned, simple effect
tests showed that they solved a similar number of anagrams in
the red (M = 9.10, SD = 4.40) and
43. black (M = 9.16, SD = 5.19) conditions, F(1, 110) = .005, p >
.05 (See Appendix B).
Another dependent variable we were interested in was the
extent participants thought that
being forewarned influenced the number of anagrams they
correctly solved. To evaluate this, we
ran another 2 X 2 ANOVA with color condition (red v. black)
and forewarning condition
(forewarning v. no forewarning) as our independent variables
and participant belief of
forewarning influence as our dependent variable. There was no
main effect for forewarning, F(1,
220) = 0.03, p > .05. This meant that participants did not think
being forewarned influenced the
number of anagrams they correctly solved. Participants in the
forewarning condition (M = 5.05,
SD = 1.59) did not differ from those in the no forewarning
condition (M = 5.04, SD = 1.45).
COLOR PRIMING AND FOREWARNING 17
Likewise, there was no main effect for the color condition, F(1,
220) = 0.23, p > .05. Participants
44. in the red condition (M = 5.10, SD = 1.62) and participants in
the black condition (M = 5.00, SD
= 1.44) did not think forewarning influenced the number of
anagrams they correctly solved.
Additionally, there was no significant interaction effect of
forewarning and color condition F(1,
220) = 0.94, p > .05. Participants in the forewarning red
condition (M = 5.22, SD = 1.53),
forewarning black condition (M = 4.92, SD = 1.65), no
forewarning red condition (M = 4.98, SD
= 1.73), or no forewarning black condition (M = 5.08, SD =
1.21) did not think that being
forewarned influenced the number of anagrams they correctly
solved (See Appendix C).
Discussion
In accordance with study one, we predicted a main effect for
the color condition, with
participants given red ink performing worse on the anagram task
than those given black ink. We
also predicted that those given a warning about ink color and
anagram performance would
perform better on the anagram task compared to those who were
not forewarned. Additionally,
we predicted that those in the red ink condition would feel they
45. would have performed better if
they were not forewarned vs. those in the black ink condition
who would feel forewarning would
not have made a difference in their performance. Results
supported only our first hypothesis.
Consistent with study one, participants given instructions in red
ink solved fewer anagrams than
those who were given instructions in black ink. Results did not
support our hypothesis that
forewarning alone would increase performance on the anagram
task. There was actually no
difference in the number of anagrams correctly solved in the
forewarning and no forewarning
condition; however, there was an interaction between the
forewarning condition and the color
condition. Participants who were given instructions in red ink
and had no forewarning solved
fewer anagrams than all the other participants. Participants in
the black ink and red ink
COLOR PRIMING AND FOREWARNING 18
conditions who were forewarned solved a similar number of
anagrams. This result may be due to
46. participants in the forewarning condition being able to ignore
the red ink color. Results did not
support our last hypothesis that participants in the red ink
condition who were forewarned would
feel they would have performed better if they were not
forewarned. All participants, regardless of
condition, believed that forewarning did not influence the
number of anagrams they correctly
solved.
General Discussion
In assessing the effect of color priming on anagram
performance, we predicted that
instructions written in red ink would impair performance. This
hypothesis was supported in both
study one and study two. In both studies participants given
instructions written in red ink
performed much worse than those given instructions in either
green or black ink. These findings
reinforce the conclusion of Elliot et al. (2007) that red impairs
performance on achievement tasks
because it activates avoidance motivation and is associated with
the danger of failure. The results
of study one also revealed that participants were unaware of the
47. effect ink color had on their
performance. Such findings suggest that when administering or
taking part in an achievement
task one should be cautious as to priming the color red. For
example, teachers often administer
different versions of an exam in an effort to reduce cheating.
Such versions of the exam are
usually color coded. As a result, teachers must take care not to
use the color red on such versions
otherwise students given a version with the color red may
perform worse than other students.
Regarding the effect that forewarning about the negative
influence that the color red has
on performance, we predicted that participants who were
forewarned would perform better on
the anagrams task than those who were not forewarned. By
itself, forewarning did not produce
any effect in the number of anagrams solved in the forewarning
and no forewarning conditions.
COLOR PRIMING AND FOREWARNING 19
However, participants who were not forewarned and were given
instructions in red ink
48. performed worse than all other participants, whereas those who
were forewarned and received
instructions in red ink performed equally well as participants
who were given instructions in
black ink. These findings are similar to those of Petty and
Cacioppo (1977) and those of Leon,
Rotunda, Sutton, and Schlossman (2003) in that forewarning of
a particular influence may lead
to resisting that influence. In the case of study two, forewarning
of the negative effect of the
color red may have led participants to ignore the color red while
completing the anagram task.
This resulted in counteracting the negative effect that
instructions written in red ink had. Going
back to the example of administering a test, it may be helpful to
inform students of a possible
effect that color in the test versions may have on their
performance and to ask them to ignore the
color.
There were several possible limitations to our study. Our study
used a small number of
participants which may have affected the results. Also most of
our participants were college
49. students. The level of interest and attention that each participant
paid to the anagram task as well
as the honesty of their answers were also possible limitations.
Possible problems with the online
survey may have surfaced, such as answers being marked wrong
when they were right. Future
studies may recruit a larger and more diverse pool of
participants. If specifically looking at how
the color red may impact test performance, it would be wise to
use a classroom setting as most
tests are administered in a classroom full of people. In addition,
just as tests are administered to
people at a certain level of knowledge it may be useful to use
anagrams that match the cognitive
level of the individual. Administering an anagram to a twelve-
year-old could have different
results than administering the same anagram task to a thirty-
year-old. Future research may also
COLOR PRIMING AND FOREWARNING 20
measure individuals’ anxiety levels before and after the test to
see how the color red directly
influences anxiety and to what extent that influences
50. performance.
Colors are an essential part of life and may have the potential
to influence our thoughts,
behaviors, and actions in more ways than we think. The present
study found that the color red
unconsciously impaired performance on an anagram test. This is
an important finding that
schools and test administrators should find useful. Students
spend the majority of their time in
school and being administered different tests, it is important to
know that the use of red in any
part of examinations should be avoided as to prevent students
performing lower than their
potential.
