SELF-ASSESSMENT QUESTIONS
4 Jaina is planning a study about false memories. She
wants to compare false memories about emotional
events and false memories about non-emotional events.
a Suggest how Jaina could operationally define the
IV in her study
b Suggest one possible ethical problem with Jaina's
study.

Answer and Explanation:

a. Jaina could define objects that refer to false memories and had emotional connections or not with the volunteer and checking their reaction when observing this object. This definition would be efficient because it would establish an IV that could be easily manipulated by Jaina, causing different results to be analyzed.

b. An ethical problem that Jaina may face in the study is the intensification or the possibility of the emergence of disadvantageous and painful memories for the participants, which would harm their well-being and even their psychological health.
