The effects that music has on study?
Factors Impacting
1) The emotional state of the participants before the experiment.
3) The conditions in which the experiment is being held.
1) The weather 2) Social impacts/ people around them.
3) Background sounds/distractions
2) Depending on what the participants are feeling in the moment of the experiment could affect their performance and change the results. :
Research Design Type
Experiment
:
Participants would study/read for a set amount of time listening to each genre of music, after each participant would record how many pages they were able to read.
Qualitative
:
Participants would record how they believe they think their productivity was after studying with music.
Then groups would listen to their genre of music while they read a paper. Results would be calculated by the time taken to read through the paper.
Observational
: Participants spit themselves into the groups depending on what they more typically listen to when they study.
3) Classical lofi
2) Heavy rock/metal
1) Doesn't listen to music when studying
Potential problems (advantages & disadvantages
Experimental: Pro: each participant is given the same equipment all around. Making the results more accurate/fair. Con: high risk of human error/ participants capabilities.
Qualitative: Pro: no researcher bias. Con: Not statistically accurate / not factual
Observational: Pro: less likely that the researcher would have bias. Con: prone to human error, groups may be uneven
Dependent Variable (Measure used)
Subjective data : Consists of asking or gathering the participants opinions on an issue/question
Pro: Provides a broader range of data.
Con: These are biased opinions from participants so they can be classified as true evidence.
Objective Quantitative : Data represented through numerical data. This would be best for this investigation since it doesn't rely on variables as much, but rather numbers and data.
Pro: It is capable of producing objective, dependable, and generalizable outcomes.
Cons: don't get insight into the meaning behind results.
Qualitative: non numerical data could be classified as how participants are feeling, what they look like or their motivations.
Pros: can explore the perspectives, and reasoning behind results and data.
Cons: isn't statistically representative.
Extraneous Variables
Participant variables: gender, Health, Age, Emotions
Situational variables: Other background noises, Temperature of the room, Amount of people in the room, Lighting
Constant Variables: Same music, Same Questions
Ethical Considerations
1) Confidentiality
2) Informed consent
3) Right to withdraw
4) Debriefing
How and Why?
Confidentiality: The confidentiality of the participants is very important to ensure that the participants feel safer and more comfortable to share answers honestly.
Informed consent: Participants should provide verbal or written consent before the experiment begins to make sure that there is proof of agreement by the participant.
The right to withdraw: The right to withdraw is to make sure that if the participant is ever uncomfortable at any time throughout the experiment they are allowed and able to leave without question.
Debriefing: The importance of debriefing the experiment before it begins is to make sure that the participants know what they are getting themselves into, and are able to be mentally prepared for the experiment.
Independent Variable
Experimental
:
For this experimental design the independent variables consist of: Music preference. Dependant variable: Literacy skills
Observational:
Independent variable: Time, music preference. Dependant variable: Gender
Qualitative:
Independent variable: Music preference. Dependant variable: Gender, Age
