This experiment tests young (ages 18-35) and older adult (ages 60-80) participants. Participants will watch a brief video, will complete a memory task, and will complete measures about their beliefs.
Participants (360 young adults and 360 older adults) will complete a baseline beliefs measure and will then be randomly assigned to one of two study conditions. They will watch a 2.5-min video that presents research findings related to their health. Their memory for the video will be tested, and participants will also complete a demographic questionnaire and another survey about their beliefs. Participation will last 15-20 minutes.
