sentence-estimation-jschoene-mockfeed

This is a working version of a two block design mock feed in which participants rate the stimuli in the first block before seeing the feeds in the second block. This has not been ran but might be an alternative design.

sentence-estimation-jschoene-memory

This release contains a task that aims to analyse a potential mechansim for amplification of words, namely, the influence of memory on amplification. The experiment has two separate blocks. In the first block participants should complete 15 sequential text amplification task trials and followed by 15 memory task trials. In the memory task participants see 8 responses per sequence after which they are presented with two responses. Only one of the two responses was actually in the sequence and the participants task is it to decide which one it is.

This study was ran 01.21.22.

There will be another version as the memory portion was to easy in this release.

sentence-estimation-jschoene-article-at-end

This release includes a task that was used to replicate the amplification finding even if the article rating is at the end of a trial. First, participants see a sequence of 4 – 10 responses to a news article that are rated individually (individual response rating). If the story in the news article is negative all the responses will range from neutral to extremely negative, there will be no positive text in response to a negative text in vise versa. Second, they rate average emotional intensity of the responses to the news article. Third, they will rate one of the news story article. Finally, they will rate how likely it is that they would have shared this article on social media.

This study was aimed to show amplification in texts.

This study was run 11.23.2021

sentence-estimation-jschoene-evaluating-responses

This release includes a task that was used to evaluate responses which were created in the previous release. First they will rate one of the news story article. This is followed by a sequence of 4 – 10 responses to this news article that are rated individually (individual response rating). If the story in the news article is negative all the responses will range from neutral to extremely negative, there will be no positive text in response to a negative text in vise versa. Finally, they rate average emotional intensity of the responses to the news article.

This study was aimed to show amplification in texts.

This study was run 10.19.2021

sentence-estimation-jschoene-creating-responses

This release includes a task that was used to create responses which will later be used as stimuli in the next stage of the project. In this stage, participants read news-stories for which they had to write responses in a pre-assigned intensity.

This study was run 25.05.2021

text-estimation-jschoene-pilot

This release contains the version of the text amplification study in which we piloted the main task which aimed to test if amplification for emotional words exists.
In this task we presented participants 1 - 15 words and participants had to estimate the average emotional intensity of a presented sequence.
This release is the pilot version of this task, the main task is text-estimation-jschoene-main-study.

We ran this pilot of the amplification in words task on the 23.11.2020

text-estimation-jschoene-memory-pilot

This release contains a task that aims to analyse a potential mechansim for amplification of words, namely, the influence of memory on amplification. In this task participants see 8 words per sequence after whcich they are presented with two words. Only one of the two words was actually in the sequence and the participants task is it to decide which one it is.

This release is planned to be the pilot for the main memory task, which we have not decided on whether or not to run it.

This task has not been scheduled for running yet.

text-estimation-jschoene-main-study

This release contains the version of the text amplification study in which we tested if amplification for emotional words exists.
In this task we presented participants 1 - 15 words and participants had to estimate the average emotional intensity of a presented sequence.
This release is the final version of this task, which was piloted in the text-estimation-jschoene-pilot.

This study was ran on 23.03.2020

sentence-estimation-jschoene-memory

This release contains a task that aims to analyse a potential mechansim for amplification of words, namely, the influence of memory on amplification. The experiment has two separate blocks. In the first block participants should complete 15 sequential text amplification task trials and followed by 15 memory task trials. In the memory task participants see 8 responses per sequence after which they are presented with three responses. Only one of the three responses was actually in the sequence and the participants task is it to decide which one it is.

This version used three instead of two responses in the memory block from which a user has to choose.
This study was ran 03.11.22. There was a previous version in which the memory task was too easy (which was run on 01.21.22.)

There will be another version in which we make sure that the three responses are more similar in length as this might have aided the memory responses especially for the shorter ones.
