You are serving on Alvernia University’s IRB. You get the following IRB application, are you going to approve it or reject it, why? Scenario: Mickey Gilley observed, “Ain’t it funny, ain’t it strange, the way a man’s opinions change when he starts to face that lonely night.” In particular, he observed that “all the girls get prettier at closing time, they all get to look like movie stars.” In his song, Gilley describes how perceived physical attraction may be influenced by the thought of going home alone. One research team would like to test Gilley’s prediction. In particular they are interested in whether motivation (e.g., not going home alone) influences perceived attractiveness of the opposite sex. Procedure: To determine whether patrons are motivated to “make new friends” closer to closing time, researchers will go to a bar. Patrons at the bar will be asked to rate the attractiveness of members of the opposite sex at 9, 11, and 1 a.m. In return for their participation, patrons will be given a chance at winning $100 at the end of the night for each of the ratings they complete.
