Color Priming and Forewarning
Part One
The study hypothesizes that participants who were given instructions in red ink performed worse on the anagram task than the participants who were given instructions in green or black ink. The null hypothesis was that the performance was worse for the individuals whose instructions were given in either green or black.
The independent variable for study one was color manipulation where the recording was done on Red, Green, and Black. The independent variable has three levels to be considered for analysis.
The dependent variable for the study is taken as the belief of the participant. The dependent variable had three levels just like the independent variable.
The researchers predicted that the ink color used by each of the participants did not affect the outcomes. After the analysis of the results, the researchers concluded that the anagram performance was not affected by the ink color.
Study two was based on the hypothesis that forewarning alone was capable of increasing the anagram performance among the participants. The null hypothesis for the study was that forewarning alone had no impact on the anagram performance of the individuals.
The independent variables were the color condition and forewarning. The variables were represented in two levels each, with the color having red and black, while forewarning condition was presented as forewarning and no-forewarning.
The dependent variable was given as the number of anagrams participants. The dependent variable was defined as the number of participants who correctly solved a problem.
The study had predicted that a warning to the participants would impact the performance of the individuals. The researchers concluded that the warning given to the participants did not affect the performance of the individuals.

Abstract
Two studies were done to assess the impact of several factors affecting the anagram participants in a review. The first study checked the effect of the color of ink used for manipulation. The independent variable for study one was color manipulation where the recording was done on Red, Green, and Black. The independent variable has three levels to be considered for analysis. The researchers predicted that the ink color used by each of the participants did not affect the outcomes. After the investigation of the results, the researchers concluded that the anagram performance was not affected by the ink color. Study two was based on the hypothesis that forewarning alone was capable of increasing the anagram performance among the participants. The null hypothesis for the study was that forewarning alone had no impact on the anagram performance of the individuals. The study had predicted that a warning to the participants would impact the performance of the individuals. The researchers concluded that the warning given to the participants did not affect the performance of the individuals.
