I'm doing research methods in experimental psychology and I'm just not interested in it. I need the course though. I need to develop a research project and I can't think of one. Something needs to be consistent, manipulated and have a measurable outcome. Like, thinking through a specific task improves after listening to Beethoven. Task remains consistent and participants listen to Beethoven and some to other music and some in silence. Music changes. But that's out of the text...I need something easy a lay person can do.
There was another one measuring the effects of stress on memory in college students.
Can someone help me with a psychology research topic...Please?
Does taking multivitamins improve memory or not? Variable: multivitamin consumption vs. placebo--to eliminate peopel from cramming or studying extra. Find a minimum of 20 people to volunteer. Give 10 placebos and 10 multivitamins, but first have them fill out a standardized questionnaire about 7-10 recent events so you can check memory of subjects. Do it again at the end of the time period set, but about events that happened the same time period ago. Also ask if they paid more attention since they were involved in the study. You may get results that would interest one or more of the vitamin manufacturers and your grad school costs could be paid for. Good luck.
Reply:Memory task - 10 cards with words on them - 10 people try to recall all the words on the cards after seeing the cards for just 60 seconds - no music - another group of tries the same task while listening to Mozart. Any difference in performance between groups?
Reply:Try this... The effect of self-conscienceless on female students when they attend all female institutions in contrast to co-ed.
