Redhead Studies
THE REDHEAD STUDIES
The Redhead Studies Design is a set of three different types of study designs: an experiment, an observational study, and a survey-based study to examine the same question. The question is "Are redheaded people perceived and treated differently from people with other hair colours?" These studies will not be carried out but are created so that they could, theoretically, be carried out.

Hair Colour Stereotyping and CEO Selection in the United Kingdom, a study by Dr Margaret Takeda, examines the affect of hair colour stereotypes on job progression. Experiments have also been conducted to asses the perception and treatment of redheads in terms of their pain tolerance, and have found that people with red hair are more sensitive to pain than people with other coloured hair. Red-haired people are also reported to bruise more easily, but there is little or no evidence to support the belief that people with red hair have a higher chance than other hair coloured individuals to haemorrhage. (wiki link down below) An similar experiment can be conducted with redheads to asses how different their pain tolerance is in contrast to that of people with other hair colours. It can be hypothesized that people with red hair are perceived and treated differently from people with other hair colours in terms of their pain tolerance. An experiment can be conducted using a group of naturally red-haired individuals versus a control group of other hair coloured individuals and the use of an ethically sound mechanism to trigger pain. The pain triggering mechanism would be wooden clothespin pegs. The independent variables will be the hair colour of the individuals and the dependent variable would be the length of time that the subjects could bear to keep the clothespin on their inner, lower arm. The levels of the independent variables would be the categories of hair colour of the subjects: red hair, blonde hair and brunettes and the levels of the dependent variable would be the number of
