Here's a word cloud level description. Note that "ETS" means experiential thinking style and "RTS" means rational thinking style. "MF" means message frame, i.e. whether the persuasive message the individual read was experientially-framed or rationally-framed. (By framing, I mean whether the message used language like "I feel" and "intuition" and "impression" versus "I think" and "logic" and "evidence".)

Tomorrow, my students turn in their research reports, so now that I have finished writing my own empirical paper, I have hours of empirical paper grading fun ahead of me.

So now the big question: how many of your students will have also pretended to have carried out research?
Odd, I hadn't noticed before that the word-cloud function treats capitalized words separately from the same word in the body of the sentence. For example, "Experiential" and "experiential" are separated in the cloud, as are "Thinking" and "thinking".
Tam, it's easy because everybody had to use the same data set. Faking the results would be harder than reporting the real ones.
RVman, yeah, it's kind of odd.
