The proposal I originally came up with was an idea to try to see if people lie differently when certain senses are stimulated. I got a lot of feedback on this project that includes questions like, how would you test this and comments about the time it would consume. With this feedback I got I decided to change my 20 time project idea just slightly. Instead of testing if people lie differently with different senses stimulated, me and Allie are deciding to test and see if children and adults lie differently.
The process I used to modify this idea consisted of brainstorm, propose, modify, and start research. What helped me to move forward in this process was discussing things with my partner Allie. This helped to get many ideas "on the table" and helped by throwing in a new perspective.
So far I have accomplished choosing an idea that will work as well as starting effective research. The only thing that has "gone wrong" so far is the fact that we had to modify our idea a little bit to make it more achievable.
During next week's 20 time I would like to accomplish more research as well as possibly start practicing how to be a human lie detector and determine how to tell if someone is lying based on not only verbal ques but also physical ques.
Lauren, I think this project will be so interesting. I bet there is a ton of stuff out there about best practices for conducting your own research (paying attention to bias, ethics, etc.). Let me know what you find. If you want to work with children, you will have to get permission from parents and probably shouldn't use their real names. Let me know how I can help along the way.
