This project comprises an experimental environment to study the impact of gender stereotype threat on student anxiety. In summary, the application has the following workflow:
- Consent form
- Pre-test (anxiety assessment)
- Gamified activity. There are three different design flavours for this activity: male-stereotyped, female-stereotyped, and neutral. Upon finishing the pre-test, one of the three flavours is randomly selected for the current participant. Please note the activity content does not change across versions (only UI elements like colours and images).
- Post-test (anxiety assessment, same as the pre-test).
In order to setup this project for a real use in your research, you will need to follow two basic steps: (1) adapt the project for your research needs; and (2) actual run the project. If you just want to see how it looks like, you can go straight to step 2 and run the project locally.
