PSY 203 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Test Anxiety, Aromatherapy
Document Summary
Students are to find the mistakes and answer the questions before checking the answer key! If you simply look at the answer key without doing any thinking/work on your own, you will not be encoding or learning the material (which will be on the contest). Sabrina is a full-time college student who"s trying to earn some money. She thinks her home-made lavender aromatherapy candles help students with test anxiety relax. She tries to sell them to the campus bookstore claiming they will help students with test anxiety perform better on exams. The store manager wants empirical evidence that the candles work before putting them on the shelf. Sabrina puts flyers all over town that say, i"m conducting an experiment on sensation and perception. I needs volunteers everyone is qualified to participate . Sabrina then splits the participants into two groups males and females. She puts the participants in different rooms with her research assistants.
