The Experiment

:cry: :evil: I’m beat! After my classes in Amsterdam I travelled to my hometown to conduct a little experiment for Methods of Research. With a few fellow students I need to do research on the readability of an article in a newspaper :lol: We want to find out if changing the font would impact the readability, so during our own experiment we need to observe the response to the original text and the manipulated text :) Of course we need to look at some other things too during the experiment, but oh well~

I think it’s pretty fun to set up an experiment even though there are loads of things to keep in mind :idea: For example, it’s better to have a group that’s rather homogeneous! This way you are able to measure the effect of the experiment without having to worry about things that can also cause a difference like being male or female :shock: But if the group is too homogeneous you won’t be able to make a general statement about the effect of the experiment!
