Of the 140 participants, 51.4% (n=72) were male and 48.6% (n=68) were female. Ages of the participants ranged from 18 years to 29 years with an average of 22.16 years (SD=3). The sample population consisted of 45.7% Hispanic (n=64), 25.7% Caucasians (n=36), 20.7%African-Americans (n=29), 5.7%Asian \u2013American (n=8) and 2.1%Native Indians (n=3). (See Appendix 1.)<\/p>\n<p>Materials and Procedures<\/p>\n<p>The participants were informed of the study itself, the risks and benefits that it carried for the students, an overview of the information required and the time required as stipulated in the standardized guidelines for informed consent. The participants had to give their consent verbally after which they were given one of the three research study documents that contained both the primary independent and dependent variables for the study. The document also consisted of five parts, the first part had the Abigail Foster Facebook post, unfortunately the professor while handling the question paper to Abigail he also gave her the answer key and Abigail who was certain she was going to work in spite of working hard used the answers. After she did very well the professor who was to curve the results because most students had not done well changed his mind, the dilemma was with Abigail who was not sure what she should do hence, in search for advice she posted on Facebook. Among the three documents in spite of them having the same scenario the condition under each of them is different, the conditions are; support, oppose and mixed which are various reactions to Abigail\u2019s post. <\/p>\n<p>For the support condition, it outlined eight comments by people who believed that Abigail had done nothing wrong and should accept the grade while putting the blame on the professor who could have been more careful. The second condition oppose, also has eight comments from students who believed that Abigail should admit to her wrongdoing by putting herself in the other students\u2019 shoes. Lastly, the mixed condition has no consensus since among the eight responses some people opposed her actions while others gave her support.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0After having read the scenario the participants were then required to proceed with part two of the questionnaire where they were required to rate Abigail\u2019s behavior based on some statements by either agreeing or disagreeing. They were to use an interval scale of 1(strongly disagree) to 6(strongly agree). The statements that participants were to evaluate on Abigail\u2019s behavior included, Abigail\u2019s behavior was wrong, Abigail\u2019s behavior was understandable, Abigail\u2019s behavior was reasonable, Abigail\u2019s behavior was unethical, Abigail\u2019s behavior was immoral, Abigail\u2019s behavior was appropriate, and Abigail\u2019s behavior was unacceptable. (See Appendix 2)\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the third part the participant was to rate various statements on what advice they would offer Abigail, their response if they were in the same situation and their general Abigail\u2019s impression. In regards to the advice, there were three statements, I would advise Abigail to keep silent, I would try to comfort Abigail and I would give Abigail the same advice that her friends gave her. For the other two parts of the sections on the response and impressions the participants have in regards to Abigail\u2019s behavior and their own, the interval scale of 1 (strongly disagree) or 6 (strongly agree) was used. In response to what they would do the participant was given two statements on whether they would confess or keep silent and on Abigail\u2019s impressions it was either she seems warm, moral, sincere, competent, confident, competitive or good-natured. Additionally, the fourth part of the questions contained demographic questions that the participant had the choice of not answering if he or she deemed them private. The questions included gender, age, race, relationship status, whether they were FIU students and whether English was their first language. Lastly, in the fifth part the participant was supposed to give their feedback on whether the advice Abigail was given was either in support of her behavior, opposing it or was more of the both of them, they filled their response by marking an X.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0While the study has both dependent and independent variables, our focus was on the dependent variables which are warm-cold scale, either accepting or rejecting what she did and the self-ratings. The main variable was accepting or rejecting that was reliant on the responses the people wrote in relation to her post and the influence they would have on her. We hypothesized that the participants who read the support response were most likely to support her in that she should keep it to herself and take the win, for those who read the opposing comments were most likely to find her guilty and condemn her actions.<\/p>\n<p>Results<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Under the survey conditions (support vs. oppose vs. mixed) which were our independent variables and while focusing on the participant\u2019s assessment on Abigail\u2019s behavior based on the responses in their scenarios, we arrived as various results. Those who had the suppose response were 46 which was 32.9%, oppose 45 which was 32.1% and mixed were 49 which was 35%. Just like predicted the participant who had the support responses described Abigail competent, moral, confident, warm and good-natured person. They believed that she deserved her grade hence she did not have to report it to the professor, they also termed her response after she was given the answer key to be appropriate and reasonable hence if there was a person to blame it would have to be the professor. However, those who read the opposing notions on the scenarios termed what Abigail had done to be wrong and that she should have reported, they went ahead to describe her as immoral and unacceptable and unethical of what she had done. They also referred her behavior in a not good way disagreeing with all notions in part three of the question. Those who had missed reactions assessment on Abigail tended to balance with a few agreeing while the others disagreed.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0In addition, for the ANOVA test which was our main analysis there was a significant difference in whether our dependent variable on accepting or rejecting Abigail\u2019s behavior had been wrong in relation to the support, oppose and mixed independent valuables, F (2,137) = 4.537, p= .021. The test confirmed that the participant\u2019s assessment would be affected by the response scenario they read. Lastly, the Post Hoc Tests analysis is used to show a significant difference among various groups. From the table, it is evident that there is a statistically significant difference between the reactions by those people who had both suppose and oppose response and those with suppose and mixed response which is (p=0.021) and (p=0.035) respectively while there was no difference with those with oppose and mixed response(p=0.969). Also, this test supported the hypothesis that participants were likely to support Abigail in the support condition (M = 4.2, SD = 0.773), the oppose condition was (M = 3.4 SD = 0.986, and the mixed condition (M = 3.816 SD = 0.727). (See Appendix 3)<\/p>\n<p>Discussion<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0As earlier predicted that depending on the response the participants read they would influence their view and eventually on how they would make inferences on Abigail have been proved. Participants who read the positive response were in support of Abigail\u2019s actions and termed her behavior as appropriate, these same people too while asked of what they would have done they supported that they would keep quiet. Similarly, those participants who read the opposing responses arrived at the conclusion that Abigail did the wrong thing and that for the sake of her integrity she should have reported the matter. Lastly, there was no major difference in those who got both responses since just as predicted some opposed while others supported Abigail\u2019s decision. However, it is clear that the difference in all those scenarios assessment by the participants was not major this could have been the fact that the participants all have an experience of how some classes can be tough and in the event, they find themselves in such a situation they are bound to make the same decision. Frankly, if the same situations were to happen to those people who opposed Abigail\u2019s decision they are likely to just act the same way because until one faced a similar issue can their real intentions be revealed.<\/p>\n<p>Appendix 1<\/p>\n<p>Gender (1 = M, 2 = F)<\/p>\n<p>Frequency Percent Valid Percent Cumulative Percent<\/p>\n<p>Valid Male 72 51.4 51.4 51.4<\/p>\n<p>Female 68 48.6 48.6 100.0<\/p>\n<p>Total 140 100.0 100.0 Race<\/p>\n<p>Frequency Percent Valid Percent Cumulative Percent<\/p>\n<p>Valid Caucasian 36 25.7 25.7 25.7<\/p>\n<p>Hispanic 64 45.7 45.7 71.4<\/p>\n<p>Native Indian 3 2.1 2.1 73.6<\/p>\n<p>African American 29 20.7 20.7 94.3<\/p>\n<p>Asian American 8 5.7 5.7 100.0<\/p>\n<p>Total 140 100.0 100.0 Age<\/p>\n<p>Frequency Percent Valid Percent Cumulative Percent<\/p>\n<p>Valid 17.00 2 1.4 1.4 1.4<\/p>\n<p>18.00 22 15.7 15.7 17.1<\/p>\n<p>19.00 7 5.0 5.0 22.1<\/p>\n<p>20.00 6 4.3 4.3 26.4<\/p>\n<p>21.00 28 20.0 20.0 46.4<\/p>\n<p>22.00 13 9.3 9.3 55.7<\/p>\n<p>23.00 21 15.0 15.0 70.7<\/p>\n<p>24.00 3 2.1 2.1 72.9<\/p>\n<p>25.00 21 15.0 15.0 87.9<\/p>\n<p>26.00 2 1.4 1.4 89.3<\/p>\n<p>27.00 10 7.1 7.1 96.4<\/p>\n<p>28.00 1 .7 .7 97.1<\/p>\n<p>29.00 4 2.9 2.9 100.0<\/p>\n<p>Total 140 100.0 100.0 Frequency Table<\/p>\n<p>Condition (1 = Support, 2 = Oppose, 3 = Mixed)<\/p>\n<p>Frequency Percent Valid Percent Cumulative Percent<\/p>\n<p>Valid Support 46 32.9 32.9 32.9<\/p>\n<p>Oppose 45 32.1 32.1 65.0<\/p>\n<p>Mixed 49 35.0 35.0 100.0<\/p>\n<p>Total 140 100.0 100.0 Appendix 2<\/p>\n<p>Crosstab and Chi Square<\/p>\n<p>Condition (1 = Support, 2 = Oppose, 3 = Mixed) * Part II: Abigail&#8217;s behavior was wrong<\/p>\n<p>Crosstab<\/p>\n<p>Count  <\/p>\n<p>Part II: Abigail&#8217;s behavior was wrong Total<\/p>\n<p>2.00 3.00 4.00 5.00 Condition (1 = Support, 2 = Oppose, 3 = Mixed) Support 3 28 14 1 46<\/p>\n<p>Oppose 7 6 23 9 45<\/p>\n<p>Mixed 4 16 19 10 49<\/p>\n<p>Total 14 50 56 20 140<\/p>\n<p>Chi-Square Tests<\/p>\n<p>Value df Asymp.
