Who would study psychology unless they had some issues?! Chapter 299 - 299 297 Data Contamination in Experiments

299: Chapter 297: Data Contamination in Experints 299: Chapter 297: Data Contamination in Experints The experint is moving to the next step.

The computer screen goes black, ceasing to refresh images.

Nan Zhubin gives real-ti guidance: “Next, there will be several different music or recordings playing through your headphones.

Please respond to these sounds as naturally as possible…”

…

About twenty minutes pass in the blink of an eye.

The male student walks out of the room, looking a bit dazed.

After taking a deep breath, he greets Teacher Xiao Zhao, whom he’s relatively familiar with, and then bids farewell.

Teacher Xiao Zhao watches the dazed expression of the male student and falls into contemplation.

As soon as Nan Zhubin also leaves the room, Teacher Xiao Zhao suddenly asks, “Mr.

Nan, is what you’re having the students do the sa as what you showed last night?

Why are their reactions…

so intense?”

Her tone is full of curiosity, along with a kind of yearning.

To get Teacher Xiao Zhao to cooperate with the project, Nan Zhubin had also let her experience the experintal process herself the previous night.

But compared to the expression of the male student who just left, Teacher Xiao Zhao felt that her own experint experience was much more bland.

It was just so emotion-triggering images, so why did that student show an expression of—euphoria?

Teacher Xiao Zhao even felt a bit envious.

Nan Zhubin nodded as a matter of fact: “Of course, it’s the sa.”

“As for why their reactions are so intense…

maybe it’s because their usual study life is just too oppressive.”

Nan Zhubin ventured a possible guess, but he thought it might be the answer: “In their usual studies, to maximize learning efficiency, they are neither in a prolonged positive emotional state nor in a prolonged negative emotional state—they remain in a relatively flat emotional state.”

“So in this kind of emotion induction experint, when they are constantly stimulated by different emotions, they experience sothing akin to the thrill of a roller coaster, unexpectedly leading to relaxation and even stress relief.”

Nan Zhubin shrugged: “Of course, this unexpected effect isn’t possible for everyone.

Our purpose isn’t healing, but data collection.”

Teacher Xiao Zhao nodded thoughtfully and then looked at Nan Zhubin, appearing as if she had more to say but stopped.

However, Nan Zhubin noticed sothing else: “Wait, you just said, ‘Why are their reactions so intense,’ right?”

Teacher Xiao Zhao ca to realize: “Right, Teacher Chong just finished too.

He asked to call him when you were done.”

…

After all, it was the first ti for the junior fellow to handle a project, and this was the first student participant he was in contact with in this project.

As the senior fellow, Chonghui was still a bit worried.

Therefore, he paused after the data collection from the first participant, intending to check his junior fellow’s experintal operation to see if there were any problems.

If there was any improper operation, it could be corrected quickly, avoiding the situation where all the collected data would be unusable due to errors.

The successful and high-quality advancent of the project is far more important than hurried progress.

Upon hearing a knock on the door, Chonghui ca out of the room.

“Has the junior done many experints before?”

He fiddled with Nan Zhubin’s instrunts as he asked.

Nan Zhubin checked his mory and replied: “Not many.”

Indeed, during his research at Jiang University, after Lin Lulin discovered Nan Zhubin’s talent for consultation, he had always arranged for him to do consultations rather than experints.

Perhaps at that ti, he was even thinking of having Huang Xin write a paper with Nan Zhubin as co-author.

Speaking of which, I don’t know how Lin Lulin is doing lately, whether he’s still on a liquid diet—maybe it’s ti to visit?

In summary, the data collection part that has been modified from the emotion induction experint is indeed closer to basic experints rather than psychological consultation.

It’s not a field where Nan Zhubin is particularly skilled.

Hearing this, Chonghui perked up, but also slightly relaxed at the sa ti.

“Then I’ll take a look at your operation…”

As he spoke, Chonghui opened the recording device, fully focused, prepared to pause at any mont if needed.

Then, after one complete playback.

Chonghui glanced up at Nan Zhubin.

And out of caution in the experint, he watched it again.

“Is there any problem?” Nan Zhubin asked.

“No problem…” Chonghui quickly finished the second viewing.

He thought for a mont and decided it was a good thing.

“Your operation is quite proficient…

though the part where you deliver guidance personally is a bit dragged out; since we aren’t conducting a strict experint, displaying the guidance directly on the screen could be more efficient,” Chonghui thought, “but that’s not a significant issue.”

“The subsequent student arrangents can be a bit more compact, let’s collect the data more quickly.”

Nan Zhubin nodded.

Chonghui also nodded slightly, but his thoughts drifted off.

The process of the project went a bit unexpectedly smoothly.

During his ti in Beidu, Chonghui had also led new group mbers as a junior guide, but back then, facing pairs of clear eyes, Chonghui only felt a headache.

Those junior fellows and sisters were clueless, making him basically their babysitter.

Yet at this mont, facing Nan Zhubin, whom he didn’t need to teach anything, Chonghui inexplicably felt a bit uneasy.

It seed as if he was a bit redundant.

Even wanted to find sothing to talk about.

“Hmm…

for today, let’s proceed with capturing data through recordings,” Chonghui thought hard and felt he found a point to remind, “but later tonight, let’s consolidate and check it.”

“?”

Chonghui nodded inwardly.

This junior fellow belongs to the talent category, which isn’t sothing he can compete with; but there are so research experiences accumulated over ti that he can teach, and talent alone is hard to compensate for that.

Teaching now might an he won’t be needed to assist in a year or two.

Facing Nan Zhubin’s puzzled look, Chonghui said: “We’re currently establishing a database, but the data we collect might contain a lot of interference data.

Recording these without filtering might lead to contamination.”

Chonghui explained with familiarity: “For instance, so students who inherently have a more repressed ntality might exhibit ‘pleasure’ when seeing painful images; so students who enjoy R18 gas might show ‘excitent’ in response to bloody images, etc.

These non-mainstream responses should be appropriately excluded.”

Chonghui continued: “After we go back, we can first…”

“In that case, when I encounter inconsistent expressions, I can directly mark them,” Nan Zhubin replied naturally.

“…

first compare this batch of data with Beidu’s main database to exclude those with significant deviations…

wait a second.”

Chonghui blinked, realizing sothing wasn’t quite right.

“You said ‘mark’ them, how will you mark them?”

Upon hearing this question.

Nan Zhubin answered it matter-of-factly: “I know precisely what kind of emotions these emotion induction materials are supposed to elicit.”

Just like how one might instantly understand what a question in a psychological assessnt scale aims to asure, understanding the purpose of presented materials is a basic competence for a psychology student.

“When I notice the emotions exhibited by the participant students don’t align with the emotions ant to be induced, I imdiately mark them, and later, they just won’t be entered into the database.”

Chonghui looked at Nan Zhubin and fell into silence for a mont.
