ABSTRACT This study tries to see how positive reaction of crowds affects how audience rates the athletes performance. Participants were 24 University of Queensland students, allocated into three groups alone, mere presence, and reactive crowd as dependant variable. Surveys used were measured using Likert scale from 1-7, on how the athlete performance was, then data was calculated using one way ANOVA. Manipulation check were also administered prior to the main analysis. Although manipulation checks were successful, the main analysis showed that there was no significant difference of how the three groups rates the athlete, F 2,21 = 1.465, p = 0.254. Suggesting that the effect of crowd does not impact how participants rated the athletes performance. The offered hypotheses were not supported, it showed that reference bias does not extend itself on non referee or presumably field of gymnastics. ABSTRAK Studi ini berusaha melihat bagaimana reaksi positif masa bisa berefek terhadap bagaimana penonton menilai performa atlit. Partisipan studi adalah 24 mahasiswa University of Queensland, yang dialokasikan ke tiga grup sendiri, hanya hadir, dan penonton bereaksi. Survei yang digunakan diukur dengan Skala Likert 1-7, dalam menilai performa atlit, kemudian data dianalisa menggunakan One-way ANOVA. Cek manipulasi juga dilakukan sebelum analisa utama. Walaupun cek manipulasi bekerja, analisa utama menunjukkan tidak adanya perbedaan signifikan dalam bagaimana ke tiga grup menilai atlit, F 2,21 = 1.465, p = 0.254. Dapat diartikan bahwa reaksi masa penonton tidak berefek pada partisipan menilai performa atlit tersebut. Hipotesa yang diajukan tidak terdukung, menunjukkan bahwa bias wasit tidak tampak pada wasit tidak professional atau kemungkinan dalam area gimnastik. |
