Impression Formation Experiment

Description: This Psych Labs Project uses the experiment method. Students participate in an online experiment that presents 27 events involving members of two social groups. Based on the descriptions of each member's behavior, students must decide how much they would like to meet that person. The statistical analyses look for differences in ratings for the two groups, testing this question: Does the type of behavior a person engages in have an impact on your attitude toward that person?

Step 1 -- Participate in the Experiment

Step 2 -- Read the Background Information
