Methods (Psych 241)Proposal form for Jury Simulation ProjectNames of Group members: Domenica DiStasio, Arianna Jones, Liam Farrell and Kathleen CollinsVariables:IVA: Gender of the defendantLevels of IVA: 2- Male or FemalePredicted results for IVA:We believe that there will be heavier sentencing for men as opposed to womenPrediction based on : Intuition Previous researchIVB: SES Levels of IVB: 2 - High SES or Low SESPredicted results for IVB: People with low SES will get higher sentences \Prediction based on : Intuition Previous researchIVA X IVB (the interaction of your two IVs):Predicted result of IVA and IVB: Males that are in low socio-economic status are going to get moreof a sentence than females in low socioeconomic status. Prediction based on : Intuition Previous researchDV: length of sentencing (Class A Felony 8-20 years (8 ounces or more)) 0 to 20Open ended 0-20 yearsParticipant InformationYou will need a minimum of 15 scores per cell for your study. Given the IVs and levels of IVs that you are using, how many participants do you plan to recruit? 80-100 participantsWho will you recruit as potential participants? (Adults? Students? Men? Women?)Students at the University of UMassHow will you recruit participants? (on campus, off campus, students in your classes or work place?)Participants will be recruited on campus, and in the classroom (asking professors to give surveys within the classroom). How will you protect anonymity and confidentiality?We will have them fill out the simulation without recording their name, and we won’t tell anyone else their name or how they answered.What important information will you give your participants to guarantee informed consent?Inform the participants that the subject matter of the survey is concerned with possession and use of heroin, and that if they are uncomfortable with that subject matter they are allowed to stop taking the survey at any time. Will you do a debriefing after the participant is finished? If so, what will this consist of?Yes, we will uncover the real reasons for this study, but only if they opt for a debriefing. We will tell participants that we were analyzing attitudes towards how sex and SES of the defendant influenced their sentencing. The ScenarioPlease provide a copy of each scenario that you will be using. In this scenario, for the purposes of the proposal only, please highlight or underscore the part of the scenario that describes your manipulated IV(s).The crime that was committed by our defendant is that they were pulled over in the state of New York for possession with intent to sell of over 8 ounces of Heroin, a Schedule 1 drug. It is a class A Felony. The defendants were pulled over for driving offenses (broken tail light, speeding, etc.). 4 scenarios will be done1.Matt is unemployed, living with his mother, who is pulled over with more than 8 ounces of heroin in his car 2.Matt is a son of a ceo caught with heroin with intent to distribute 3. Emily is a daughter of a ceo caught with heroin w/ intent to distribute 4. Emily is unemployed, living with her mother, pulled over with more than 8 ouncesof heroin in her carHow many scenarios will you need?Four scenariosHow many copies of each scenario will you need?20 copiesBe sure that every member of the group gives out a roughly equal number of each type of scenario. If you have a separate answer sheet, be sure there is some code on the sheet to indicate which condition the participant was in.If you plan to include any other questions on your scenario, please include them below.Gender SESAge Have you taken our survey yet?Class Year Overall scenario (all surveys get this)(PERSON) was pulled over on route 2 for having a broken tail light.
