This experiment explores how opinions form in a group. You will participate as a member of a group in a series of experiments. An experiment consists of a number of rounds during which a single piece of music will be played. In some experiments there will be additional information about the piece, such as its title or the artist’s name. Your task is to continuously evaluate the piece during rounds and rate it with a value ranging from lowest (“Terrible”) to highest (“Excellent”). In addition to giving a simple rating, you will need to write a short explanation of why you chose to rank it that way. You will be asked to make several rounds of ratings because you may change your mind about the song as it goes on, and also because if there are other people evaluating the song, they may make good points that you want to take into account. However, throughout the experiment, we would like you to give your own honest evaluation of the song as well as you can. Do not change your ratings unless you feel differently about the song.
To submit your opinion for the round click on the circle beside the desired rating, then type your explanation in the box below, and finally click “Submit your opinion” at the bottom of the window. Have fun! |
