Social Experiment

[quasarrgames]

 A young friend of mine was conducting a behavioural experiment on Priming, and he made a survey. He needs as many people as possible to make his study accurate, and he asked me to help him, so i'm just leaving the link for it here. It's got a couple math questions and puzzles and stuff, "designed to test your thinking skills".

So, yeah. If you're bored, or you wanna do a good deed for today, check it out.

Interesting. I hope he gets interesting results, mine included!

It is highly suspicious i copied the link as asked and nothing happend it only said "Your response was accepted". i didnt respond to anything. 

I recomend not to click on that link.

The study was listed as closed when I copied the link to a new tab, when I pressed the "please copy this link" button I got the "your response was recorded" message.

Is this one of those things where the actual survey is which link you pick?

I have a feeling the social experiment is whether you click a random link on the internet without knowing what is on the other side.

Does it count that I first googled the root of the links (http://goo.gl)  to see if it was legit?

You still didn't know the content.

But anyway, I am not the one doing the experiment, so I don't know the parameters and whether that is accounted for.

Why do I feel picking one of the 3 links is the experiment...

No but at least it was a token effort

I wanted to do that thing from Johny Mnemonic but I left my powergloves at home

Well either way I won't respond anymore here just in case I am messing with the experiment by trying to figuring it out. I used to do these things and it is a pain when people figured out the test and intentionally mess with result. Good luck with experiment.

I clicked on every link, just says that the surveys are closed. The survey is a lie!

What does "Math puzzles and stuff" have to do with priming?

Two groups are given a test.  The tests are identical in every way, except that one is labeled "Easy Level", and the other is labeled "Hard Level". (And a group with an unlabeled test as control.)

Does the label affect how the two groups score on the test or how they perceive the difficulty or their level of confidence in their answers?

The thread is labeled "Social Experiment".  We're just being social about it.  (And as the surveys are now closed, I can only guess the data gathering portion has been completed.)
