Personal investigation

Question 1

State operationalised co-variables

Answer 1

Creativity: score on Northwestern creativity scale (out of 116)
Stroop effect: time taken to complete stroop test (seconds)

Question 2

Operationalised alternative hypothesis

Answer 2

There will be a significant relationship between the score on the Northwestern creativity scale and time taken to complete stroop test (in seconds)

Question 3

Identify, is hypothesis directional or non directional?

Answer 3

non directional

Question 4

Why have you chosen this type of hypothesis?

Answer 4

The way in which the stroop test is operationalised varies significantly between studies, therefore I have chosen to do a non directional hypothesis as we are not directly replication previous research.

Question 5

What will your null hypothesis be?

Answer 5

There will be no significant relationship between the time spent (in seconds) completing a stroop test and the scores on the Northwestern creativity scale. Any relationship will be due to chance.
