2. Lab #12: Motivation “The initial expectation for the blue group was much lower than ours. After their initial expectation, their expectation skyrocketed to mirror something similar to our group’s expectations. I think this is because the blue group was told a lower average score from the pink group’s. If this is true, it would suggest that people tend to think of themselves as average at something they have never tried before, however, after trying it, they base their expectation on experience.”
