You're right, I wasn't very clear on my objectives. Also, my previous comment was needlessly snarky, for which I apologize.
To be honest, I'm not very sure of what I want, myself. I have reason to believe that they'll consider it acceptable regardless of whether there's a control group or not (this being the CS department and not the psych one), so that's not actually an issue. And I've got some desire to do things "properly", for its own sake, and also because it might be fun to do this well enough to turn it into a real publication. But I'm also swamped with a bunch of other stuff and don't have a chance to spend too much effort on this.
So, I guess I dunno what I'm asking, myself.
How about going to the office hours of a professor in the psychology department and ask them for advice on how to run your study?
Your question made me go d'oh, in that I suddenly remembered that there's an obvious place right nearby to ask help from, both for designing the study and recruiting test subjects. I'll talk with them, thanks.
