8. Jury project: Groups 4 identical scenarios – with only your IVs changed. The scenarios don’t need to be marked with numbers, you will know which they were yourselves. A consent paragraph at the top of each scenario page. A place for participants to respond. (Either on the page itself, or on a separate piece of paper they will be given. If you do the latter, those separate pieces of paper need to be clearly marked with what scenario they read.) A few sentences to guide your verbal debreifing.

10. Jury project: I would like to be able to do data analysis on Thursday. Why? So that you don’t have to do much work over or immediately after Thanksgiving break! I can push off the final draft of the survey paper due date if need be.
