If you can do it in a more controlled setting, I would be interested in the results. As others have pointed out, the way I have done it has many problems: lack of controlled randomisation, small number of participants, possibility to see the anchor by accident and still answering the group II question etc. Unfortunately I have no idea how to organise a controlled experiment and don't particularly want to invest much money in it (I suppose people don't like to spend an hour filling questionnaires for free).

You could talk to someone at a nearby university and see if they'd be interested in collaborating with you further. That would also probably help with the funding issue.
