Yeh tbh the paper was good. What did you tick for the infant mother interaction 1 markers? how to reduce investigator effects? Type of observation?


The multi choice one was a bit weird coz the choices were all similar - but I picked the ones that said ‘the baby...’ rather than ‘the mother...’ because the question asked how the ‘infant’ does it. But I wasn’t sure.
Interactions synchrony was the one that said ‘in time’ & reciprocity was the other one.

The investigator effect, I was bit all over the place.
But I said you should use a ‘structured interview & get an independent observer not at the concert’ (& I was gonna say do a single/double blind procedure but I wasn’t sure if that would make sense).

The type of observation? If you’re talking about the Q from the social influence section, I said it was Covert.

My own predictions were very similar to yours, so i was very glad that someone else had the idea as me.

The paper was great, not too bad. Only thing that got me was the 12 marker, which i didn't revise hopefully i at least get 1 mark for spelling Van Ijzendoorn's name right lol.
