Hello, I’m a bachelor’s student in research psychology. I’ve been conducting research about ADHD and sensory problems. I would really appreciate your thoughts about presenting it on a conference to which I have been accepted by an abstract. I also would really appreciate a fast reply.
The abstract stated that at the moment of submission the research was still in progress (specifically, data collection).
Now I have a deadline really soon. The sample is a bit smaller than I expected, however, I decided to try to go with it (about 30 valid participants less out of approximately 200 expected).
I did a brief analysis myself, however I’m not experienced. 2 of the hypothesis I had been confirmed but not the main one. A person is helping me with analysis and I’m waiting for the results, however I really am not sure that the results would be meaningful even if my brief analyses could have been done poorly. The supervisor is really hard to reach and doesn’t give much help, unfortunately.
I started to think that possibly my research doesn’t have a solid ground or I am just not experienced enough to give a presentation at all. I might be just too anxious though.
So the question to the people who have some experience is: what do you think about giving the presentation? Or is cancellation better?
Thank you so much.
