Wording of Questions: There was confusion regarding the wording of some questions, particularly those phrased as "I enjoy other genres more than the thriller genre."
The professor had reworded them, and the instruction was to follow her edits.
"Prefer Not to Say" Option: Suggestion to add a "prefer not to say" option in the demographic section.
Decision: Add "prefer not to say" option.
Considered adding "NA" for age if participants prefer not to answer, instead of making the question required.
Horror vs. Thriller: One person suggested choosing between horror and thriller, but horror is a subcategory of thriller, so the feedback was dismissed.

Screenshots are not allowed; list all possible answers instead.
Methods Section
Carissa will go through everyone's methods sections and select the best sentences to compile.
Materials and procedure descriptions need to be thorough.
Ensure everything is in past tense, following the structure of the example paper.
Age Ranges for Table
Initial age ranges: 18-20, 21-25, 26-30, and over 30 (copied from the example).
Discussed adjusting age ranges based on the distribution of responses to create roughly equal groups.
Post-Following Tasks
Post the updated version of the group's official measure files.
Address what content from the first draft should be in the final draft.
Consensus that Carissa gets to decide.
Each member posts feedback received during the meeting and the data file from pretests.
Logan will delete pretest responses on Saturday night.
Someone needs to make the official post on behalf of the group; Carissa volunteered if possible.
Miscellaneous Discussion
The group waited for Daniel and Mia to join to take a screenshot.
The members talked about their weekends and various topics such as going to a saloon and watching movies.
