Unit 8: Emotion Research FRQ Attempt 2

You should present a cogent argument based on your critical analysis of the questions posed, using appropriate psychological terminology. It is not enough to answer a question by merely listing facts or providing definitions only.

A high school principal is interested in proposing moving to a system in which some classes give participation points for speaking in class. She believes that for those classes in which participation points are given, students will enjoy those classes more. She is proposing an experimental study to examine this belief.

- Identify the independent variable in the study.
- Identify the control group in this study.
- Provide an example of a valid operational definition of “enjoyment of classes.”
- Explain how random assignment would help establish cause and effect in this experiment.
- Explain why it would be difficult to use a double-blind procedure for this study.

Suppose the principal finds that once participation points are given, students no longer enjoy class.

- Explain how the overjustification effect might account for this finding.
