THE RESULTS SHOWED THAT THE ESTIMATES OF SPEED IN MPH WERE AGAIN HIGHER WHEN THE WORD SMASHED WAS USED. THE SMASHED CONDITION HAD A MEAN OF 10.46MPH AND THE HIT CONDITION HAD A MEAN OF 8MPH. IN THE SMASHED CONDITION PARTICIPANTS WERE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE LIKELY TO RESPOND YES TO THE CRITICAL QUESTION IN THE SECOND QUESTIONNAIRE
PARTICIPANTS WHO BELIEVED THE ACCIDENT TOOK PLACE AT A HIGHER SPEED (SMASHED), SAW TEH ACCIDENT AS MORE SEVERE AND WERE MORE LIKELY TO PRESUME THAT TEHRE HAD BEEN BROKEN GLASS, AND THIS MAKES SENSE AND IS WHAT WE EXPECT DURING FAST ACCIDENTS
