![enter image description here][1] [1]: https://files.osf.io/v1/resources/fzgcb/providers/osfstorage/5ca50710c5a2eb001aa4c75e?mode=render I am an undergraduate student at the University of Toronto. My supervisor of this project is Dr. Elizabeth Page-Gould, an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at University of Toronto. I gratefully acknowledge the support of Dr. Elizabeth Page-Gould who contributed importantly to this project. Special thanks to Joel Le Forestier, Daniel An, and Helena Wang for their useful advice; to the lab managers, Bashir Fares and Tara Kendall, and the research assistants, Dorothy Sun, Gina Yan, Won Kyu Jung, Rayan Saied, and Terrence Zhang, for their help in data collection; and to Nesmith Chingcuanco, Stanley Leung, and Dylan Guan for their comments on my writing. We are interested in researchers’ impact on study participants’ performance. For studies that involve cross social groups relationships and interactions, it is possible that the study results are influenced by the interactions between study participants and researchers. In this project, two classic social psychology studies were replicated: (1) Implicit Association Test and (2) Imagined Contact Test. We are interested in whether the participants' interactions with researcher(s) from the same/opposite sex group (independent variable) would affect their performance in these two tasks (dependent variable).
