1) Title of Research Study: Effects of visual art on judgment 2) Investigators: Dr. Kevin Lanning, Claudia Cortez. 3) Purpose: The objective of this study is to determine the effects of salient visual art (photographs and pictures) on political judgments and social beliefs. 4-A) Procedures: Participants in this study will be presented with a series of pairs of visual images. Following each pair, participants will be asked which they prefer. These comparisons will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. Following the series of photographs, participants will be asked to provide their political preferences and rate presidential candidates. Participants will then be provided with a survey incorporating a measure of political attitudes and personality traits. The ratings and survey will take approximately 30-45 minutes to complete. 5) Risks: There are no more than minimal risks to the participants. The only anticipated risk is a possibility of slight negative affect following the presentation of some of the images. 6) Benefits: Participants will benefit from the knowledge that they have furthered the research and from receiving self-insight into their own personality, as measured by the personality questionnaire component of the study. In addition, participants who are enrolled in psychology classes at Florida Atlantic University may, at the discretion of their instructors, receive extra credit for participating in the study. 7) Data Collection & Storage: All data which identify participants will be stored in a locked cabinet and maintained for a period of five years after completion of the study, after which these records will be destroyed. Data will be kept confidential and secure, with access limited to persons working with the study unless required by law. 8) Contact Information: For related problems or questions regarding your rights as a subject, the Office of Sponsored Research at Florida Atlantic University can be contacted at (561) 297-0777.
