Design-wise, the present study makes use of an experimental design, which is run through an online software called Qualtrics. Specifically, the study’s experimental design will follow a randomised between-participants design, with the participants randomly assigned to one of two conditions: angular font vs. curvilinear font. The study material will consist of a lecture slide or key lecture supporting document concerning research ethics. The two fonts will consist of two types of popularly-used fonts in classroom settings (e.g., Arial and Times New Romans)
What will the analysis methods be? While a number of texts on research methods and statistical analysis can be consulted, Howitt and Cramer (2020) can be used to assist in designing psychological research and choosing the right statistical analysis. The present study will be a randomised between-participant experiment and t-tests will be used to interpret the statistical significance.
