A CASE STUDY IN MEDIA DISTORTION Obfuscation Studies

Have you ever changed the words in an academic essay to make the essay sound more valid or intelligent by using complicated language?   75% When you write an essay, do you turn to the thesaurus to choose words that are more complex to give the impression that the content is more valid or intelligent?  66%
Obfuscatory Stimuli ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Example Original “ The primary academic goal I have set for myself is to use my potential to the fullest. Your college represents an institution abundant with academic resources. During my undergraduate years I intend to use those resources to obtain knowledge about my career field, and I hope to fully explore my career field.”
Example Obfuscated “ The principal educational aspiration I have established for myself is to utilize my capabilities to the fullest. Your institution characterizes an institution plentiful with educational resources. Throughout my undergraduate existence I anticipate to exercise those resources to acquire information about my occupational discipline, and I hope to completely investigate my occupational discipline .”
Experiment #1  3 Levels of Obfuscation: 1) No obfuscation 2) Some obfuscation (every 3 rd  word) 3) High obfuscation (every word) 2 Levels of Quality: 1) Good Essay 2) Bad Essay
