Planning a Psychology Experiment on Observation.
Method - Design
The independent variable will be the absence or presence of the gorilla, one group will be told what they have to find and the other will simply be shown the video and later asked what they spotted in the video.
The dependent variable will be how many participants notice the change in color of the curtains in the video and how many participants spot the gorilla in the video.
During the experiment, I will ensure I do not cause any mental or physical harm to the participants, the participants will be provided with a consent form prior to the experiment
I will decide on a topic and guiding question, which will reflect in my aim and hypothesis. Then I will decide how I will conduct the experiment. The experiment will split the participants into two groups, as there will be an experimental group and a controlled group.
