By: Reina Thayer

Materials:
5 boys, 5 girls, blindfold, lemon juice, vinegar, lavender scent, vanilla scent, pencil, envelope, sharpening stone, shirt pin, plastic, aluminum, stone, Styrofoam, salt, cinnamon, powdered sugar, and pepper

Procedure:

I first started off with one of the five girls and covered her eyes with a blindfold. Next, I started with the smell category and had her identify each of the four objects using only here sense of smell; I then recorded if she got the object right or wrong (but did not tell the subject). I then did the same steps with the touch, hear, and taste categories. Once the first girl was finished I repeated those steps with the other 4 girls and 5 boys.

Results:

My results turned out well and girls won the battle, on smell girls got 16/20 while boys got 9/20, on touch girls got a 14 /20 and boys came so close behind with a 13/20, so far the girls have been winning. On to the last two categories, while girls got a 16/20 on hear, boys received a 6/20 putting them far behind from the girls. Last but not least the tasting part was a really close tie but girls made a 19/20 putting the girls in first place for ALL categories while boys made a 14/20 making the boys last in ALL categories.

Discussion:
My research is very similar to others research and the results are the same. In other projects like mine it was stated that girls used their senses better than men because of their shopping skills and the fact they use both sides of their brain. Possible errors made in this experiment could be the fact it wasn’t just me and the one subject in a room during experimentation, but others that were not not apart of the experiment that may have distracted the subject. My data has varied between repeated observations by what the subjects being tested guess some of the food objects are, the wrong guesses got different each time. I don’t believe that any uncontrolled event affected my experiment, if I had to

Barry’s published works, totaling more than 25, include ‘Stay Fit and Healthy until You’re Dead’ (1985), ‘Dave Barry Hits Below the Beltway’ (2001), and ‘Dave Barry’s Complete Guide to Guys: A Fairly Short Book’ (1995). The preface to Barry’s book ‘Dave Barry’s Complete Guide to Guys: A Fairly Short Book’, ‘Guys vs. Men’, is his perspective on the difference between “Guys” and “Men.” While both words no doubt bring to mind an image of a human male, they are very different in there description of that male. First, guys like to buy “neat” things that they don’t really need. Also, guys like a really pointless challenge. Last, but not least, guys are not very good at communicating their intimate feelings.…

    Nerd Vs Boys

    As males, many have their difficulties of becoming men than others do, depending on whether or not they are ready to grow up. Although the stereotypical "jock versus nerd" concept is difficult to cope with in society, males face many more challenges than just that. They have troubles fitting into different crowds at school, impressing girls, and keeping out of trouble. People tend to think that females have a tougher lifestyle than do males, but when it narrows down to the finer details of things, males have to go through much more than their female counter parts. Although females do have their struggles, adolescent males face more challenges growing up than do female adolescents.…

    They were randomly assigned one of three experimental conditions. Participants were welcomed and shown to the testing room, the signed the consent form for a taste test. They were then given a bogus test that was used to determine preferences for masculine and feminine activities. They were asked to give feedback on 20 activities using a 1 (strongly dislike) to 7 (strongly like) scale. Since the questions were about Facebook or drinking coffee or traveling the experimenter was able to give bogus feedback for the scores they wanted the participants to see. They were the told accordingly if the scored low or high or neutral on the masculinity scale. For those of low (threatened) masculinity the were asked to complete a Positive and Negative Affect Schedule. In the taste test participants were given 2 identical amounts of energy drink (900 mL); one was a popular brand and the other a new product with a new flavor. They were asked to determine different characteristics. What was really being measured was the amount…

    In my data analysis, I found that on average, there was a slight increase in the participants’ ability to accurately identify the right emotion only by watching at a short video. On the first test, the majority of participants completed the test with scores in the dozens or twenties. During the first test, most participants reported having difficulty choosing between the seven universal emotions. However, the videos were not very long and could not be repeated until an answer was selected. Nonetheless, with as much as 5 minutes of reading on the topic, their scores improved with an an average increase of 9.2%.There are some exceptions where some participants performed better on the first test than on the second test, but overall, the results were somewhat similar As a result of this experiment, I concluded that knowledge has an impact on one’s ability to recognize and identify micro-expressions Furthermore, I also believe that if all of the participants would have had a more intense and long training in micro-expressions recognition, they would see a bigger increase. Moreover, my research is valid because it measures exactly what I wanted to measure: The influence of knowledge on one’s ability to recognize micro-expressions. Thus, it corresponds exactly the concept of analyzing the influence of one element (knowledge) on another one (recognition). Likewise, it is a realistic experiment because it is…

    Boys and girls both like the same sports. They should be able to play together. As most know, cheer can be a girly sport, while football is for boys. There is no permanent rule that states that though. While some boys would like cheer, girls could enjoy football. For example, soccer is mainly played by boys and girls, so why not play on a team together? Boys and girls should have a choice to play on the same sports team because everyone enjoys different things, the rules aren’t much different, and it is beneficial.…

    Nationally, there’s virtually no discrepancy at all – in 2013, 18.3% of women got Firsts compared to 18.5% of men. But it’s odd that there’s any male bias at all, since girls have long been getting more top grades at A-Level.…

    In this lab the main purpose was to research for a company that made bargain brand products to see if college students equally like bargain bands to name brands. The experiment that was preformed was based solely on the taste of the products. To be sure the only thing that affect the experiment was taste, the experiment was made a single blind experiment, which is simply the administer knows which product is which but the test subject does not. To start off the experiment the sample of college students was at a number of 18. The first step taken was to randomly assign the brand labels which would be either j or k. In this experiment j became bargain brand and k became name brand. The experiment started off with the administer wearing gloves and ask the test subject to close their eyes so slimily seeing it would not help determine which product is which. Then the test subject was asked to draw a number from a box and if it had a zero the administer would give brand j then k but if it was a one they would give brand k the j. Then the experiment move to actually tasting the product which would be a drink, and they would take product in the order that the test subject drew. After that step was done the test subject would give the cup back to the administer so they could document the results and so that no one was influenced by others option’s out loud. This result was documented for all 18 people and put into a chart to keep record of hat the test subject thought. Then the experiment ended with asking the test subject to open there eyes. The chart with the information would be set up as participant, number draw, first brand, second brand and the preference brand.…

    In order to do this research, the researchers did two experiments but in a same design-completely randomized design. The reason why the experimenter use double blind at experiment 1 is because under this circumstance, the experimenters and the participants they both don't know who is experimental group or control group. This is actually maximally avoided different kinds subjective bias and personal preference. Both experiments were not included the individuals who already know the goals of the experiments or part of the design of those. The result from there people will definitely cause more deviation at the final consequence. They are either bad samples or would give the answers with bias because they have unintentional physical cues. After calculation, the 95% confidence interval to the number of question Intimacy of women who wear red and green are (17.54, 21.00) and (14.77, 18.43) respectively. If give an alternative hypotheses which is “men viewing a target woman green would choose to ask her more intimate questions”. Then my data doesn’t provide significant evidence that true population mean of the number of question…
