Group Intention effects on REG

Dara Deshe, Eugene Gokhvat – PSY/ORF 322 – 05/05/2005

From Margins of Reality

“…Deliberate investigations of group interactions with

physical systems and processes, beginning with

multiple operator experiments…or others

testing various implications of the model for group behavior,

could be instructive.”(p.328)

Overview of Method

1. Compile group operator data.

2. ShortREG Analysis Panel

a. Calculate basic statistics: mean, standard deviation.

b. Graph REG output.

c. Implement Excel to compute Chi2.

3. Conduct Chi2 test on PSY/ORF 322 (2005): high, low, baseline, total.

4. Analyze results.

Notes:1. For both groups of PSY/ORF 322 classes there is a very evident mean shifting

in the opposite direction of intention.2. This is also the case for the aggregate data of the Hillsboro school students and

the one class of high school students from Tower Hill.3. While it would be convenient to attribute this effect to the machine, calibration

data indicates a nearly perfect mean and standard deviation without intentions.
