# scope-sensitivity-project

Experimental research group project for ECON 4803 Behavioral Economics.

Scope Insensitivity: A common cognitive bias that occurs when people make judgments that show no concern to the number - or scope - of the things they are evaluating

Hypothesis: Participants who complete a math activity are less affected by scope insensitivity. Their valuations will change in a way that is closer to proportional than the valuations of those who complete a grammar activity.

Conclusion: After multiple regressions testing for joint significance with different models - linear-linear, linear-log, log-linear and log-log - it has been concluded that there is no statistical significance between the Math activity (considering the other explanatory variables of interest) and the:

1. Overall accuracy score

2. Accuracy score for the bird-related questions

3. Accuracy score for the turtle-related questions

4. Accuracy score for the human-related questions
