Moonwalking Mastery: The Impact of Repeated Watching on Predicted vs. Actual Performance

Name: Instructor: Course: Date: Hypothesis: In experiment 3, the researcher hypothesized that repeated watching enhances predicted moonwalking performances but not the actual abilities to perform. Such an argument is in harmony with the assumption that, though repeated watching may enhance the moonwalking experiences' predicted outcome, it cannot enhance the participant's actual moonwalking performance. Independent Variable: Watching/Repeated watching Dependent variable: Moonwalking performances Total Number of Participants: The first group of participants consisted of 100 recruits from the researchers’ university subject pool, with 54% of the participants being females. The 100 participants in the first group had a mean age of 26.26 and were required to complete the moonwalk phase for $1.00.The second group consisted of 100 participants recruited from Amazon Mechanical Turk, where females took 30% of the participants. The second group's mean age was 33.06 years, entitled to complete the moonwalk phase for $5.00. The two groups give a total of 200 participants to participate in the third experiment of the moonwalking project. The results: The experiment outcome indicates different results; an adverse effect of exposure
