The Dot Estimation Task
|
This script runs the Dot Estimation Task, an experimental manipulation in which participants estimate the number dots presented on a series of screens and are randomly classified as "underestimators" or "overestimators". The task is used for studying ingroup favoritism, response to evaluation, social comparisons, and other social psychological phenomena.
