I need to buckle down
My thesis is due in 2 months. I have my 4 music pieces picked out, now I just need to get people to take the study. My hope is that I’d have at least 20 people for each group, but with people listening to music, answering a survey, and doing a TAT (Thematic Appreception Test), it’ll take 10-15 minutes for each person to do, depending on how quickly they create a scenario for the TAT. And then I have to grade them. Twice, if I want to achieve plausible reliability for the TAT, because that’s a subjective test, and I need to know that whatever I’m thinking on a certain day doesn’t bleed through to the grading. And after that, I get to convert all the data and enter it into SPSS so that the program can run statistics for me. It’ll be a long road, and that’s not even taking into account my other classes or practicing for my recital, which is on April 14th. My head hurts just thinking about this…
