nopressure_ Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Hello! I'm sending in my internal assessment this coming thursday (final draft), and realized just now that I may have done it wrong. I used a study by Zajonc et al (1968) where they investigated the matter of choosing between antonym pairs. They asked their participants to choose "the more favorable meaning,represented the more desirable object, event, state of affairs, characteristic, etc.". When I replicated this study, I had understood it as that the participants were supposed to choose between the pairs and encircle the word they preferred, generally. Not the more favorable or desirable. I am a HL student and I know we're allowed to change experiments to some extent, but this is too much, isn't it? Would I have to redo the whole experiment during the upcoming week? Thanks in advance! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindpet Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 I would not worry about this at all, you changed one minor thing, if your hypothesis still makes sense and you did appropriate analysis then you have fulfilled the objectives of the IA.

Thank you so much for the quick reply, now I can continue on my IA peacefully! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
