March 10th: With my experiment I will be testing creativity, For instance can you take the most basic question and give an unusual answer. This is an example.
Last week we finished all our handouts. I had a little trouble getting them in all on time because it's a lot of work for one person to do by themselves
Yesterday was Parent's Night for the psychology Fair. It' went well lot of Parents thought mine experiment was fun and cute. I enjoyed the parents who came also they were very nice.
Today Is Psychology Fair for the School . It's going Good. People have been giving strange responses to my questions. 1. if a man orders a bride, name a reason why he might send her back? 2. name something that's torture for a man to sit through? 3. name something a really lazy guy might teach his dog to fetch for him? A lot of people were giving me answer of what the dog would fetch for himself or in general, like a bone or keys just some strange and mixed responses.
so far i gotten through 50 people and i need 50 more.
I ended up with over 90 participants at my booth. Yay all in all it was really fun. :)
Will the participants know they are trying to give a creative answer?
ReplyDeleteyes and no
DeleteI wonder what the experiment will entail. Is it just asking basic questions and hoping for a creative answer?

Deleteyes and no, some of these questions also have basic answers; i just want to see if you can think outside the box for any questions.
DeleteIt'd be interesting if you can find any patterns like the ink blot test.
ReplyDeleteso far i've seen people give really basic answers that i would have said and so they rated themselves as dull.
DeleteWould like some more info on the experiment itself.
ReplyDeletethe experiment is test creativity, with basic questions i want to see who can be the most creative with their questions even if the answers are just as basic as the questions.
DeleteI would be intrigued if you also dove into the specifics of what categories were able to bring out the most common answers, and if there was something that the common answers all had similar.
ReplyDeletemy 1st question seems to bring out the most interesting responses. " if a man sends a mail order for a bride, name a reason he might send her back?" you wouldn't believe half the responses got . But my second and third question seems to bring out the most dullest answers or "common" answers as you say. " something that is torture for a man to sit through?" and "name something a lazy guy might teach his dog to fetch for him?"
DeleteYou should elaborate more on the methods and hypothesis of your experiment. But I love Family Feud and I cannot wait to see what answers people come up with
ReplyDeleteI have gotten some mixed responses. some were weird others were just outrageous and some were very boring. When i asked my 1st question. about why would a man send his bride back, some people brought race into it which i found interesting. And name something a lazy guy might teach his dog to fetch for him? a lot of people said keys but that wasn't answer. But all in all everyone seems to enjoy it
DeleteGive more details. What kind of prompts/questions will participants be given?
ReplyDelete1. if a man sends a mail order for a bride, name a reason why he might send her back?
Delete2. name something that is torture for a man to sit through?
3. name something a really lazy guy might teach his dog to fetch for him ?
What types of questions will you ask? What do you define as basic questions?
ReplyDelete1. if a man sends a mail order for a bride, name a reason why he might send her back?
Delete2. name something that is torture for a man to sit through?
3. name something a really lazy guy might teach his dog to fetch for him ?
and basic as like , common sense, if you're asked questions you would use common sense which is logic but i want to see if imagination/creativity can override your logic
Think there should be more information on whether or not the participant knows if they should be responding creatively or if they would be giving a general answer.
ReplyDeletethat's the thing if you give a common sense answer and it doesn't work, can you think outside the box to answer the question if logic doesn't work
DeleteWhat type of questions would you be asking? Does this experiment relate to personality and how creative someone is outside of schoolwork? Some people might give a creative answer for one question, but a bland answer for another. I still like the idea, so I hope to see consistent results!
ReplyDeleteyour right, they can be creative with one question and dull with another and so far i have gotten a lot of those results. but the type of questions a relating to a mans point of view and they guys has answer most of them correct but when the girls try to answer the questions they over think the answers because it's from a guys point of view
DeleteAre the participants competing against others?
ReplyDeletesometimes they compete and sometimes they do it as a group
DeleteI like the game family feud so it will be interesting to see what kind of results you come up with. are you comparing the qualities of your subjects with the level of creativity they show in order to find a correlation?
ReplyDeleteumm somewhat, i'm having them rate their answer that best describe them so , like super dull, dull, average(logical), creative, super creative
DeleteAre you planning on doing a family feud game? I don't quite understand the idea behind your experiment.
ReplyDeleteyes it's an actual game
DeleteWhat is defined as a "creative answer"?
ReplyDeletelike something you normally wouldn't think of
DeleteI would like to have more information on what the experiment is asking and how you're going to judge that. I love family feud though, so this should be a fun experiment!
ReplyDeletei judge based off their answers. And it is pretty fun so far
DeleteI love Family Feud as well! Although I understand the concept of the game, some participants won't. Please elaborate on your experiment and what the participants will be get in return. What will students think of this experiment? How will they benefit educationally or mentally from this experiment? Define creativity for your experiment.
ReplyDeleteso far a lot of people like this experiment, and they'll know that the logical answer isn't always the most valued answer.
DeleteOkay this is really interesting and I love the game too. Can't wait to see the questions and what people respond to them. Hopefully everything works out. Good luck!
ReplyDeletethank you and so far people have given interesting responses
DeleteThis seems fun but I'm not sure how you collect data. Who or what scale would determine how strange the word is. I feel like this experiment would have too many variables to take into account.
ReplyDeleteit really doesn't. it's a scale from super dull- super creative
DeleteI wish there was more information about your experiment on your blog! But I will stop by tomorrow to learn more about your experiment and see how it turns out!
ReplyDeleteok. thanks I hope you enjoy when you come.
DeleteFamily Feud is such a great game show. Is this going to include a group of contestants? Or just one or two people?
ReplyDeletethey can participate as one or two or in groups.
DeleteWill the more distinct answers prove that that person is more creative or has a different way of thinking?
ReplyDeleteyes
DeleteWill the subjects be prompted to be creative? It would be interesting to see how creativity is impacted when the subjects are pressured to be creative, versus their natural responses.
ReplyDeletei think they feel the pressure of having to be creative when "common" answer fail to appear as the answers
DeleteFamily Feud is a fun show! Interesting experiment to learn more about.
ReplyDeleteFamily Feud is one of my favorite shows,but I would like to know more details on the experiment
ReplyDeletebasically, i'm asking 3 questions and based off their answers they will rate them as super dull, dull, average (logical), creative, super creative. just like the game show they get 3 X's then their out.
DeleteI'm not sure what this experiment entails, but as a fan of Steve Harvey I will make sure I stop by and see what shenanigans you have planned
ReplyDeleteLOL. Ok and Thanks hope you enjoy when you come by.
DeleteI like watching that show too, I do not know what patterns this experiment will show, but I will be stopping by to see.
ReplyDeleteOk. THanks your welcome to come by anytime. Hope you enjoy when you come by.
DeleteMore elaboration would be nice. Confused on what the experiment actually is
ReplyDeletei'm sorry. but it's testing your creativity with answering questions, so like whether or not if common sense is the right answer
Deletei'm sorry. but it's testing your creativity with answering questions, so like whether or not if common sense is the right answer
DeleteExcited to see what you will be learning from this experiment, also if there is a coincidence of the name family feud
