Shige Oishi (2010) proposed "residential mobility theory" stating that when people move often, they start to value different kinds of friendships, as compared to people who have not moved very often. For example, people who move often prefer people who are extroverted and easy to get to know. In contrast, people who do not move often much prefer people who are loyal and who keep up their long-standing friendships. Amanda decided to run a new study to test the residential mobility theory in her research methods class. First, she asked people how often they had moved in their life and categorized them into two groups: people who had moved more than four times and people who had not moved more than four times. After her experiment, Amanda asked each group whether they would prefer to work in a study group of strangers or of close friends. She had predicted that people who had moved a lot would prefer the study group of strangers. However, Amanda's results revealed no difference. Clearly identify what the psychological theory is in the scenario. You can write it below or highlight it in the passage. Clearly identify what the hypothesis is in the scenario. You can write below or highlight it in the passage (please use a different color than for #1). Amanda's results were not significant, and her hypothesis was not supported. What should she do next?
