Document Summary
How people think about, influence/relate to each other. Good life: maslow"s self-actualization ideas based on his heroes. Hindsight bias: feeling of thinking something is common sense after being told about it. Get random sample = good fr representation purposes. Magazine gets phone #s of ppl frm telephone books/auto registrations about election. Inaccurate b/c ppl who can"t afford didn"t respond. Ppl want to remain consistent w/ ideals expressed e. g. first question: japan set restrictions on american products => lots say no. First question: america, then japan => lots say yes. Ppl want experimenters to view them in +ve light. Implicit measures used to ensure they don"t know. Can interact w/ knowledge of issue to result in no effect. Often better to create simulations of real world. Random assignment = good equalizer to eliminate effects of extraneous factors. Mundane realism: degree to which experiment similar to everyday situation. Ppl should feel good about themselves leaving experiment.
