PSYCHOLOGY EXPERIMENT

Introduction

• If it was anonymous would they answer more truthfully than if they hasd put their name
• We asked kids 6-8th grade to come take a survey with 14 questions.

Materials

• Survey
• Pencils
• Dividers
• Popsicles

Methods

• We came up questions for the survey that were personal
• The surveys were then printed we made fliers and went around telling people about our survey
• Then we had kids take the survey.
• Once the data was collected we took that and found the average questions to compare.

Data

• Confidential #1
• Question #1:5
• 2 # 2:3.9
• 3# :1.8
• 4# :1

Results

• This data tells us the average number that was picked on survey.
• We got averages from each group and averages from each question
• We then graphed them on a bar graph
• In questions 9-14 the results were high and they were the more personal questions

Discussion or Analysis

• In the results most people answered higher in tha last couplle of questions.
• Most people didnt answer truthfully because some results could be an outlier
• But in the first few questions people answered alot lower because they were about them doing things to people

Conclusions

• In the experiment from the data it seems like people were thruthfull when they were anonymous
• I believe some people might have but most were not lieing on the survey
• Our was conlusion was that the experiment was a success.
