Research report: Effect of Irrelevant Neuroscientific Information
Instructions
You are required to submit the Title, Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results (including graphs), Discussion and References sections of a research report based on the results from the online experiment that you completed in Week 1
the research report it mentions is the one I already attached. article 1 and 2
The results interpretation is the main problem
“The research report experiment is a replication of the target article you were provided with and the research question was discussed in tutorials. The experiment investigated the effect of adding superfluous neuroscience and other scientific information to psychological explanations on the perceived quality of the explanation. The target article should provide a clear research question and hypotheses for you.
basically, the results and discussion/interpretations are already in article 1+2, you just need to reword it I think. so it’s not original research
or if you like you can just complete the first 2/3 and ill do the results and discussion parts
Answer preview
Superfluous neuroscience information appears to have a significant influence on the way that people judge psychological explanations for various phenomena. The neuroscientific explanations tend to impair a person’s critical analysis of information, even when the evidence from neuroscience is inaccurate or irrelevant. To this end, an experiment was conducted using 60 participants. The subjects were divided into two groups (without neuroscience versus with neuroscience), and given 10 descriptions of psychological phenomena, each of which had a good and bad explanation.
