Attitude Survey
How an individual dresses impacts how he or she is perceived in the eyes of others. Often times, the way an individual appears in public leaves him or her open to becoming labeled either favorably or unfavorably. Members of society will often judge an individual’s appearance therefore denying any opportunity to know the “inner person.” In today’s society, some of the socially acceptable ways to dress seem to include wearing pajamas in public venues, wearing revealing outfits, and wearing pants so low that one’s underwear is clearly visible. The contents of this paper discuss attitudes and whether or not wearing such outfits is acceptable in society, in workplaces, and in schools. …show more content…
This will allow parents to have some privacy and alleviate any anxiety that may be caused by judgment from other parents. The survey will also include an introduction letter informing parents of the purpose of the survey and will include a date in which the survey must be returned.

    Why Some States Should Have Banned Saggy Pants

    The Lawmakers in some states know this is a problem and have passed laws prohibiting this fashion style in schools. In schools Florida and Arkansas banned them but in Georgia, Alabama, and Chicago they passed on Blanket bans which are when you cannot wear saggy pants anywhere. Louisiana and Virginia have tried to pass blanket bans but failed because many people disagreed. This is affecting many students or people of the public, mainly because if that is their style then they cannot wear that or if they could not afford a belt then they let their pants sag there is a lot of controversies. The government should not have the right to tell you what to wear.…

    Attitude Survey - 1

    In certain situations, it is important for psychologists to understand the attitudes of people on different issues. Attitude surveys are how psychologists gather information about attitudes of people. Then, they take this information and turn the results into empirical evidence to back up the theory or question that is impending. A person’s attitude can affect thought and behavior processes such as cognitive thinking, emotional reaction, and physical behaviors (Hogan, 2007). For my survey, I used the Likert method of attitude scale to develop my attitude assessment. I wanted to find what the attitude of smokers and non-smokers have about the smoking ban in restaurants. This paper will examine and discuss the development of my survey, administration process, scoring of the surveys, and the interpretation of the scores. Also, issues that I had while designing the survey will be discussed.…

    A Content Analysis of Female Body Imagery in Video Games

    Before diving into the experiment, the authors discuss how the standard of physical attractiveness in mass media has become thinner and more socially valued. They then suggest an explanation for this relationship: the cultivation theory. This theory posits, “people’s view of social reality is molded by the media” (Content 825). Martin Eisend and Jana Mölle delve further into the cultivation theory in their article The Influence of TV Viewing on Consumers ' Body Images and Related Consumption Behavior, claiming that cultivation effects vary among genders. While men tend to be more independent, autonomous, and individualistic, women are “attentive and sensitive to others, and seek to form intimate connections with others” (Influence 105). Thus, women use specific information to make judgments on what the average person does rather than relying only on television. Women are less likely to build perceptions of the normal physique from television than men. Therefore, while women may be depicted as thinner within the video game setting, they are not deeply affected because they look beyond media to form their perceptions on the “average body type.”…

    Would it be right to be told how you have to wear your clothes? You're not naked or showing skin but your not allowed to do certain things because of how you choose to wear your pants, but none the less you are told what to do. Within the last two decades, sagging pants have become one of the most controversial fashion trends in the United States. The opinions of how society feels about this trend can be divided into two groups. People who are in favor of sagging pants say that the style is comfortable and is a way to show their artistic expression. Those who are opposed to this fashion statement complain that it is no more than a display of public indecency. Some people in the opposition even wants to make sagging pants into a criminal issue.…

    Just Be Yourself

    People all around the world dress differently, and have different views on their appearance. Some people think it’s important to look their best and, therefore, give careful attention the clothing they wear. Other people don’t seem to care. I, myself, am one of the people that don’t seem to care. The old saying, “Clothes make the person,” is completely false, and I strongly disagree with it. Clothes do not make the person at all. No matter what I put on, I’ll always be the same person. In our society today, people judge others, and follow the crowd by wearing what everyone else is wearing. The clothes you wear everyday on the outside, have no effect on the person you are. Everyone should just be themselves and wear whatever they want to wear without fear of being judged or criticized. If people are going to judge you, they’re not worth the time. Everyone has their own personality, and different ways of expressing it.…

    Social Dislocation

    Indecent dressing or immodesty in dressing, though a moral aberration, is in my view among the least of the many social, cultural and moral problems that are threatening to destroy this nation and its people. In fact, what we see today as widespread indecent dressing (as well as indiscipline) among the youths of our country is only indicative and symptomatic of the system collapse that is inevitable in a society run aground, where as it were, the fathers have eaten sour grapes and the children’s teeth are on edge.…

    Impact of Print Media on Society

    The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of the Dove Evolution film as a one-shot media literacy treatment to change sociocultural attitudes toward appearance. Four speech classes at the University of Central Florida were used in a Solomon fourgroup design. Group 1 received a posttest; Group 2 received a pretest and a posttest; Group 3 received the treatment and posttest; and Group 4 received the pretest, treatment and posttest. The treatment consisted of the Dove Evolution film, a viral video introduced in 2006 by Dove as part of its Campaign for Real Beauty. The film has received 19 million views on the Internet in 2.5 years. A modified version of the Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire (SATAQ-3) was administered as a pretest and posttest, measuring four variables such as awareness and internalization of the media ideal, pressure to achieve the media ideal, and desire to be athletic. It was hypothesized that the treatment would raise awareness but lower internalization, pressure and desire to be athletic. Although none of the hypotheses were supported, there were statistically significant changes. Contrary to expectations, the awareness measure decreased and the pressure score increased. The results and implications are discussed.…

    For and Against School Uniform

    Does the old adage "clothes make the man" apply to students in the school setting? Can the way students dress have an impact on such things as school climate and safety, academic success, and behavior? Some administrators think so and tighten up student dress codes or begin requiring students to wear uniforms as a way of reducing the risk of violence and creating a positive, productive learning environment. Nowadays, fashion is a popular issue, but it leads to many complex problems in our society. Most people tend to express themselves by what they wear. They wear different clothes beginning from the ‘strange’ clothes to the vulgar ones. This tendency is practiced by young people by wearing many creative clothes, however, their choices are sometimes inappropriate. From the one hand, it is good when kids express their individuality through their clothes, however, from the other hand, when kids are in school, they should not show how big their wardrobes are, but how big is their knowledge. School is a place where kids come to learn, in the first place. Moreover, according to psychologists, short skirts which are worn by girls at school are destructing school boys’ attention and concentration on educational process. Furthermore, during the transitional age – from 11 to 19 - many kids start to separate themselves into groups by appearance and style - some kids wear only fashionable clothing, some wear famous brands, some prefer cheaper clothing. This also is a problem, because it not only stops the educational process, but creates relational problems among kids. According to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), the number of public schools shows that the popularity of school uniforms has been increased in the last 10 years. In 1999, twelve percent of public schools had a uniform but in 2008, eighteen percent adopted a uniform for students. The NCES considers school uniforms to be an "indicator of school crime and safety," and safety is one of the top…
