Chapter Five Journal Critique Chapter Five Journal Critique Kristen C. DeGeorge Psy 2: Research Methods Saddleback College Professor Leaver June 18, 2023

CHAPTER FIVE Chapter Five Journal Critique Independent and Dependent Variables From the title the reader can conclude that the independent variable is an emotion while the dependent variable is a false memory. Relevant Research Studies The introduction informs the reader that memory can be extremely unreliable and there are a number of factors that contribute to this happening. It was surprising to learn that people can recall events that never even happened, and how problematic this can be for various reasons. Frenda, Nichols, & Loftus, 2011 ; Loftus, 1979; Okado & Stark, 2005, is one of the earlier findings that was referenced in the article which stated that people who were exposed to misleading suggestions after an event occurs tended to incorporate those misleading suggestions into their accounts. Methods Section. I learned that the participants of the study consisted of UCI undergrad students. The design used six (condition) × 2 (true vs. false details) × 2 (goal - relevant vs. goal - irrelevant details). They were instructed to emphasize five feelings in different conditions, and the sixth condition was the control condition. Results. From the results section, I learned that the results were examined for whether or not the participants attributed suggested and non-suggested true and false details to the slides that they were shown. I learned from the graph the exact numbers for all six factors, including the control. Discussion Section. From the discussion section, I learned that this study examined how the effects of emotional elaboration made people more susceptible to misinformation. Something that stood out to me was the statement, “Susceptibility to false memories did not differ in function of mere emotionality or valence, but instead showed motivational influences”.

CHAPTER FIVE I found the article to be detailed and I appreciated the supporting context which added another level of validity to the article. After reading the article I reflected on how my emotions may have played a factor in how I recall events and how suggestions could have contributed to how I formed those memories. I believe I could design a similar study on this topic, but I would do it in a different way. My idea is to gather participants and divide them into groups. Then I would put the participants in different situations that would consist of a relaxing situation, a stressful situation, and an uncomfortable one. For example, I could stage an older lady getting her purse snatched and afterward would ask each group of people to recall the details which would help the police capture the thief. Then I would ask for specific details about the lady and perpetrator such as, what were they wearing, how tall were they, what is their hair color, what is their eye color, what time did it happen, ect. I would then analyze how well each group of people could recall the details of the given controlled situations that they experienced before the event of the lasy and the thief.
