Description

The purpose of this study is to determine the impact that different paper types may have on academic work. Past research has shown a potential link between the color of paper and the resulting test scores. We wish to discover whether or not this may be the case through experimentation. We also examine how personal preferences and sex differences may moderate this relationship. In this experiment we will collect data from approximately one hundred undergraduate students, likely ranging in age from eighteen to twenty-three, from a small, midwestern university.
