Question

1. Professor Miles conducted the following experiment to see if physiological arousal leads to increased attraction. For half of the participants, she has them first do a simple maze task (low arousal condition) and then rate 10 photos in terms of physical attractiveness (from 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest). These participants then did a distraction task for 15 minutes (watch a boring film). Finally, these participants were asked to run quickly in place for 5 minutes (high arousal condition) and then rate another 10 photos. For the other half of participants, she reversed the order of the above conditions. First running in place, then the distraction task to lower arousal, and finally simple maze task. After running and the maze, they rated 10 photos after each condition.

Answer 1

Yeah I understood the scenario. But I don't see what's the question here.
