WELCOME TO THE MSI "IMMERSION AND ENJOYMENT" STUDY!
Your participation means a lot to us ­ thank you for helping us gain new scientific
insights into how people think, feel, and behave. We study immersion and enjoyment,
and we're recruiting participants for a study that involves completing 2 tasks in total.
For Task 1, we'd like you to go through a particular exhibit here at the MSI, close
to where we are now, on your own and at your own pace. There is no "check list"
for what to do; we want you to simply go through the exhibit however you would
normally do so. When done, you'll come back to us and make a brief computer­
based rating, privately and anonymously. You will rate your enjoyment of the
exhibit.
Then, for Task 2, we'd like you to go through another exhibit in a similar way (i.e.,
go through privately and then come back here to rate your enjoyment of it).
As compensation for completing both tasks, you'll receive a $5.00 Starbucks gift card
and a handful of tasty chocolates. And of course, we hope you enjoy the study and
learn something along the way! We're certainly grateful for you helping to contribute
new knowledge to the science of enjoyment.
Please continue to the next screen to read your informed consent form; after reading the consent
form, the experimenter will begin the study.

intro
WELCOME TO THE MSI "IMAGINATION" STUDY!
Your participation means a lot to us ­ thank you for helping us gain new
scientific insights into how people think, make decisions, and form judgments.
We study how people imagine different experiences ­ for example, how you
imagine different kinds of exhibits here at the MSI from reading a text
description.
Here, you will imagine an experience like this, and rate what you think it'd be
like via multiple­choice questions.
Please continue to the next screen to read your informed consent form; after reading
the consent form, you will continue onward to begin the survey.
Task1predict
Ok, great! Let's begin your first imagination task:
For this task, we want you to imagine going through the Genetics exhibit here at the
MSI for the very first time. Even though you actually saw this exhibit in real life today,
we want you to pretend that you've NEVER SEEN IT before for purposes of this
imagination task.
So far so good? Please continue to the next page for instructions.
"Imagination" instructions:
Imagine that, here and now, we recruit you to participate in a research study on
enjoyment. Imagine we ask you to complete two tasks, involving exhibits.
Specifically, for Task 1 imagine we ask you to go through the Genetics exhibit here at
the MSI, and then come back to us and rate your enjoyment for it. [Pretend that you
haven't seen this exhibit before, and doing so for our study represents your very first
time through.]
Moreover, for our "requirements," we explain that you will go along with whoever is in
your current group, you can walk around at your own pace, and you can check out
whatever parts of the exhibit you wish.
Please continue to answer some questions about how you imagine this experience.
At this point, suppose you just came back to us after going through the exhibit, and
we ask you to complete a computerized survey about your experience. All responses
are anonymous and confidential, and cannot be seen by us.
The survey asks you the following question, presented below.
What do you predict your ratings would be? Keep in mind that (in this imagined task)
you just came back from seeing Genetics for the VERY FIRST TIME.
"Overall, how much did you enjoy your experience of the Genetics exhibit during this Task 1?" Your predicted
rating:
not at all enjoyable

...Also, imagine the survey asks you to rate what you actually did while going through,
via the following question.
Again, keep in mind that (in this imagined task) you went through Genetics for the
VERY FIRST TIME.
"Roughly speaking, how much time did you spend doing each of the following things within the Genetics exhibit,
while going through it during this Task 1?" Your predicted ratings:

Task2predict
Thanks! One last step:
Suppose your "enjoyment" study wasn't done just yet. Imagine you were instructed to
go through the exhibit again as part of this study.
In other words: imagine that right after you finish going through Genetics, coming
back to us, and rating the experience...we inform you that the study is really about
repeated experiences, and so we want you to go through Genetics again for a second
time right then and there (you can do whatever you wanted the second time through,
keeping the same requirements as your first time around).
Make sense? Please continue to the next page.
Now: Imagine you just finished and returned to us again. What do you predict your
ratings would be specifically for this second experience, via the following question?
Keep in mind that (in this imagined task) you came back from going through Genetics
for a SECOND TIME right then and there as part of the same study.
