This is a final year project assignment.
I have included relevant documents about the project. The report should be 8000 words EXCLUDING abstract, appendix and table charts. Which means the report needs to be SUPER detailed in other sections. I can only add 30 sounrces in the instructions but please use more given the length of the assignment. 45+ above
I have drafted an introduction and method section to be reviewed. BUT it is to be expanded as the supervisor have commented that it is TOO SHORT. Follow through the comments and rewrite + expand these section as well. Please make sure you can see the comments on the documents as it is valuable comments.
The file name is as followed:
1. 2037380 – PSY319 – Introduction ONLY DP Comments.docx
2. 2037380 – PSY319 – Methods ONLY DP Comments.docx
For introduction, please make sure to cover all these in detailed. Since the whole report needs to be 8000 words, introudction needs to be 2000 words AT LEAST.
1) Time pressure affects performance
2) Anxiety affects performance
3) Why does anxiety affect performance? – this is the bit about diverting resources from the task at hand and focusing on feeling anxious
4) Time pressure and anxiety as a possible interaction
5) Your study – you should also mention that in our experiment we have measured both the trait and state anxiety, and explain why this is important.
For the method. The participants completed the experiment online instead of in-person. Please note that as it is explained in the comment section as well.
There is two video link which explains the data and the approach on the assignment. It is crucial as it explains a lot. Please watch it through even though it is a bit long.
