Caffeine and it’s effect on focus level

This study investigates the effects of caffeinated coffee on focus levels among students, amidst the rising trend of caffeine consumption in educational settings. By conducting a controlled experiment with blind testing, participants will receive either caffeinated or decaffeinated coffee without their knowledge. The study aims to assess whether caffeine significantly enhances focus or if any perceived benefits are due to the placebo effect. Variables such as age, gender, coffee brand, and previous coffee experience will be considered to ensure reliable results over multiple semesters.

  5. Blocking • Students will be separated into grades because caffeine can have different effects on students of different age levels (this includes maturity). • Within those groups students will be divided into male and female groups because physical differences within this category can result in a different effects.
