Title: The Effects of Social Pressure and Time Pressure on Decision-Making in a Creative Task 1. Independent Variables: a. Social Pressure: This variable will have two levels – high and low. High social pressure will be operationalized as a

Here is the temp[late for your project proposal. You are to review the article (on your own or along with my lecture) and answer the 3 questions for the proposal. Please put as much detail as I have asked for (2 IVs with 2 levels each, and operationally define each level), as well as the DV in the original experiment, and specifically how it was operationally defined. You can use a combination of IVs from the original 4 experiments in the paper, or just simply use the ones outlined in the last experiment (experiment 5). Then, I want to see your version of how you plan to propose this experiment, by changing at least 1 of the original IVs, or more than that. Justify why you chose the different IV(s) or DV, and how it changes your experiment (to make it your own, as opposed to a replication). 
Finally, for number 3, a 2 X 2 factorial design gives you 3 hypotheses: 2 main effects and an interaction. 
Please make sure to give me your 3 hypotheses, including the direction of the effect for the main effects. For example, if you use gender, and you predict males will cheat more or be more creative (or both) than females, the direction of the effect is that there will be a main effect of gender with males scoring higher, or cheating more, or being more creative, etc.
For the interaction, you simply have to state that there will be one (or I guess you could predict there will not be one, if you wanted…)
