This paper is all about supporting your hypotheses. My suggestion is to spend some time describing the nature of Psychological Reactance Theory (Define it and discuss its origins) as well
as controlling language, and then talk about studies that looked at this area. Use those
studies to help you defend your own study hypothesis. That is, “Since they found X in
this prior study, that helps support the hypothesis in my study”.
BELOW are your study one hypotheses. Use your literature review to support these hypotheses! Just
remember that the rest of your paper needs to be at least two full pages NOT
INCLUDING the hypotheses below.
HYPOTHESIS:
Based on Psychological Reactance Theory, we have several predictions in this study. First, if
participants read an AI policy that uses high controlling language, then they will more strongly
agree that a) the policy gives them too little freedom to decide how to use AI, b) the policy
threatens their freedom to choose how to complete assignments, and c) the policy is not
respectful of their right to make their own decisions when compared to participants who read an
AI policy with either low controlling or neutral language, which will not differ from each other.
Second, if participants read an AI policy that uses high controlling language, then they will more
strongly agree that a). the policy made them angry, b) the policy was too extreme, and c) the
policy language was demanding when compared to participants who read an AI policy with
either low controlling or neutral language, which will not differ from each other.
Finally, if participants read an AI policy that uses high controlling language, then they will more
strongly agree that a) they intend to use AI even in situations where the AI policy does not allow
them to use it, b) they intend to ignore the AI policy, and c) they intend to use AI when they
deem is appropriate when compared to participants who read an AI policy with either low
controlling or neutral language, which will not differ from each other.
ATTACHED ARE Instructions for Paper I: Study One Literature Review Instructions
Articles to Use for Paper I: For your first paper, you MUST cite to four of the attached articles. You can cite four of them if you like, but you must find a fifth article to cite using PsycInfo. These are listed in no particular order, but make sure to read the abstracts to see how well they will fit in with your own paper.
ATTACHED BELOW ARE THE FOUR ARTICLES YOU CITE AND USE TO SUPPORT YOUR HYPOTHESIS. you must find a fifth article to cite using PsycInfo.
IF YOU NEED FURTHER HELP WITH UNDERSTANDING THE ASSIGMENT. I ATTACHED THE ENTIRE STUDY AS WELL SO YOU CAN UNDERDTAND. THIS IS JUST PART ONE OUT OF 5. I WILL CONTINUE USING YOU FOR THE OTHER PARTS IF ITS DONE WELL. THANK YOU SO MUCH. CONTACT ME IF YOU NEED HELP.
