As you may have noticed, I didn't blog yesterday. This was mostly because I was in the midst of a couple new things and a couple of old things. Yesterday morning consisted of a meeting in which Dr. Bopp explained the syntax and SPSS analysis for another part of the data that I had not looked at yet. Now, I'm no computer expert or a statistician, I feel like I'm finally getting the hang of data analysis and exactly how it works and what it means, which is super exciting for me because I can't stand it when I don't understand how things work! Following my meeting all morning, I also ran three subjects in the afternoon, bringing me to a total of 19 subjects so far in the experiment. This is so exciting for me because I've basically found all 19 and run them through the study in the course of about 10 days which is difficult many times. In addition, I met with Dr. Bopp again and we discussed the writing portion of the study and the final powerpoint I will eventually have to present to the entire Independent Research group. So my newest project beginning yesterday and today has been looking though and reading old journal articles and related research papers to my topic in order to get a feel for how to write a methods section. I need to write a methods section because, in addition to my final powerpoint and final paper, I am trying to help Dr. Bopp write the journal article that could potentially be published for this entire study. This is really cool, but not an easy task by any means, so I will let you know how that goes! But in the meantime, I'm still scheduling and running subjects, which should be done by the end of the week, and doing data analysis as I go. Just staying busy in my Psychology Suite nook! I hope everyone's research is going well and I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!
Keep the faith,
Reagan
