data set

datafile with composites and coded gender and my shitty output

Here is the data file (31 participants)

__Meeting up for data analysis on Tuesday 19th April at 12 in Lab 1__

Hey, I've uploaded the spss folder. I'll start inputting the data files we already have over the week.

Have uploaded the excel files with participant data. They're under Files in Manage Wiki. __Maria__

 * UPDATE**__ 24/3/11
 * We have headphones!! (will have early next week thanks to Jenni)
 * 2 posters are up, 3rd floor Bedford Way (we need to put up a few on the main campus)
 * Email to the entire university - not as easy as I thought...we need approval for this. I am on the chase!
 * UPDATE AGAIN! Chase not so succesful, no one is around!! We can try get access to the subject pool, tried to speak to the guy in person but I can't get a hold of him so have sent an email instead
 * Spoke to John WB who suggested using gumtree, it's definitely worth a try! I don't have a gumtree account and not sure how it works, could someone sort that out?
 * Yi suggested having people from outside UCL participate, we can let the security people downstairs know to let them in - so people you know, invite them in! We can allocate slots to make life easier.



I have put the links on my chinese facebook. a lot of people are asking me the names of the music. they really like some of them haha. Yi //- I'll put the list of all the music files up if you want to pass it on to people. There are some really nice pieces in the mix :) - Maria//

Hi guys, we really need to get more people to complete the music pilot study, so far we only have 1 participant!! Maria

The music pilot study is complete! Have a looksee and let me know if it's alright!

Hi guys, thanks for all your slides, here it is all put together. Although now I'm thinking the background and rationale really should be on seperate slides but we already have 5 slides so lets leave it as it is. If there are any changes that need to be made then feel free to do so :)

__Maria__

Here is the methods ppt. are we measuring both reaction time and correctiveness? or either? let me know if there is anything to change/add.



Here i have uploaded my my slide for the proposal presentation. Have a look and let me know if there is anything to add.

The visual pilot is looking good! I've added a subdomain to it: [|www.thesistools.com/visualpilot] I think we have to wait for ethical approval before running the music pilot. MQ

Check it ch ch check it. All good?

Here is a folder containing all images as jpegs and a word file of all images urls as hosted on thesis tools. Will convert these into a questionnaire this afternoon.



Visual Stimuli:

Updated information sheet, risk assessment form, ethics form, consent form and demographics have been uploaded.



the information sheet has been updated. Yi

I've uploaded the updated demographics questionnaire. i've had no luck with finding a suitable mood scale but i'm off th bed now! I'll try again in the morning later Leanne

Hi I've just uploaded the consent form for the project.

I'm still looking for a a suitable mood scale, they all seem too long! but should upload the questionnaire soon before bed. The neutral music seems fine too me, just dont think should play for too long as can be depressing. Yi, the information form looks ok but the emails addresses are incorrect for Maria and I. Leanne

Have uploaded some relevant research papers, not sure if you guys can access them though...so let me know if you can't and I'll put them into a post of some kind. They should be displayed under "recent changes". Maria
 * EDIT* - If you go to "Manage Wiki" and click on Files they should be there. I've found a few that support the effect of positive mood on learning!

Hey guys me and Robin have started the ethics form. See below. We just need a slightly fuller rationale/background and the information sheet for participants. What do you think?



Could one of you do the consent form and one the info sheet so we are ready to hand in on Friday?

Thanks,

Maria

Here is the informtation sheet I am not sure if we should 'decieve' participants so that they will be induced to the correct mood?

Thanks, yi
