  1. Hello guys, I'm gonna be doing a project involving the Stroop test. Do I have to create the program my self? I have no experience in computer programming btw Is there an online program I can download that has the Stroop test? Any online program that measures reaction times when participants press keys on the keyboard?
  2. Hello so I'm a psychology student entering my 4th year of undergrad. I go to a Canadian university and am planning to do a 4th year independent project. I have an interview coming up really soon.This PI's research centres on the effects of estrogen on cognitive functioning (ex. memory) and basically how hormones affect sex differentation andgender identity.So I have heard, based on word of ear, that some students come up with their very own research hypotheses and other students are simply given a hypothesis by the professor.1. Is it better to come up with my own research hypothesis/question rather than the professor giving me one?If I do want to come up with my own research hypothesis, how do I best go about doing so? Do I first have to conduct a thorough psychological literature search to find all the information out there?2. FYI I am a non-heterosexual male. I'm not sure if the professor would be happier if I focused on women? Or does it not matter if I focus on men? Men are not affected by estrogen as much as women are, however. And most of the professor's research is on the effects of estrogen.Though some of her research literature does talk about gay men, trans men and women, and gender identity and how gender identity is affected by hormones (ex. estrogen), her research doesn't seem to talk about testosterone as much. So I feel like it wouldn't be the greatest idea to come up with a research question about testosterone levels in gay/straight women and men Would mentioning my own sexual orientation help facilitate some good ideas for discussion? Or Would mentioning my own sexual orientation have a negative impacton my interview with the professor?Should my focus be on males or females? I would assume that most of the lab's research data is collected from women and male-to-female trans individuals. I would appreciate any advice on how to prepare effectively on the interview and really impress the professor! I know most of you who browse here are absolutely brilliant thinkers, so I truly am grateful for any advice/words of wisdom! Thanks!
