Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject Psychology – General, grade: A, University of Massachusetts – Amherst, language: English, abstract: This will be a description of how a study could be carried out that gains insight and examines how sleep and self-esteem can impact your academic performance. The participants for this study will be children 15 – 17 years old who will be taking the Math and English MCAS for the first time. The participants will then be divided up into two groups, one with a sense of low self-esteem and another with a sense of high self-esteem. The group with low self-esteem will be further divided into two groups, one with less sleep and the other with more sleep. The group with high self-esteem will also be divided into two groups, again one with less sleep and the other with more sleep. The exam will be issued as if it were a real exam. Parents and participants will be told that the purpose of the experiment is about finding out the reasons to poor or high academic performance. At the end of the exams, parents and all participants will be debriefed in a room altogether.
