Experiment Instructions

In this experiment, the words "positive" and "negative" will appear randomly in the upper corners of the screen. Most trials will also pair words related to gender such as "male" and "female" with "positive" or "negative". Then, a word will appear in the center. For each trial, categorize a word according to gender and its positive or negative connotation. If the word aligns with the category on the left, press "d". If the word aligns with the category on the right, press "j" There are four blocks of trials with each block containing six trials.
