Stat Lady in Red
The primary goal of this research is to find out whether the display of red by a female can increase her attraction to a male significantly. In this research, the researchers dis more observations than self-report is because self-report data have well-known limitations in comparison to direct observations of human behavior. We are finding some common reactions across species. Apparently, examinations of behavior represent a more direct test of parallels between human and non-human functioning with regard to attraction. For instance, if a man finds a woman attractive and feels desire toward her, he may not express it behaviorally due to shyness, fear of rejection, the presence of rivals, or a lack of receptivity cues from the woman. But he might still make the first move talk to the woman in a way which is quite straightforward and directly.
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

    Several studies have been made to understand why humans are attracted to certain people. Diedre Ribbens, a biological scientist, was skeptical regarding pheromones influencing sexual attraction; however, towards the conclusion of her article, “Subtle, yet Sexy: How Pheromones can Change Your Perception of Attractiveness” she becomes aware of the additional ways pheromones work and the possibilities. She gains credibility since she is a scientist and uses factual information from studies conducted on pheromones as well as emotional appeal to her audience.…

    History can prove that the consciousness of fertility can cause females to flaunt just how fertile they are to the proper mating pool through ornamentation. It was researched through the observation of mating rituals in birds. Females are known to lavishly decorate their nests with flowers, leaves and the best twigs they can find just to attract a suitable mate. Although the studies and observations can prove that females tend to make themselves stand out to a partner, yet, there is still the question of why. In a study (Hasleton, Mortezie, Pillsworth, Bleske-Rechek, Fredrick 2007) has come up with a study on ornamentation and how it is affected by shifts in the ovulatory cycle. Hasleton et al. (2007) hypothesizes “that changes in women’s motivations manifest themselves in changes in self-ornamentation through attentive personal grooming and attractive choice of dress.” thus a woman is more motivated to go out and find a man once they have adorned themselves in the proper dress that makes them feel attractive.…

    2. Describe the experimental procedure. In this experiment I was presented by 14 trials in which I had to identify what I see in an ambiguous figure. Each trial contained several pictures presented one by one, followed by the test question about my perception of those multiple ambiguous figures. Once the ambiguous figure stopped there was a test question to choose between several options to describe what in my opinion the right answer as I perceive. Once I completed all 14 trials, the data was accumulated and presented in a graph comparing global views with myself.…

    However, in females, her display rate is positively correlated with the body mass of the male, but there is a negative correlation with her own. Females tend to associate more with larger males than smaller ones, which is effected by her body size. Courtships displays by males doesn’t have an influence on mate preferences for females, neither does the rate at which he displays. In male’s courtship displays, does play a role in mate preference. Males usually showed a greater preference for females that exhibited opercular displays than for females that did not display (Clotfelter et al. 2006). There was not a preference by males for any specific size of female. The study by Clotfelter et al. (2006) also found that the size of a male’s bubble nest could be predicted based on his display behavior, females use this when choosing a mate. Another criterion that can be used when choosing a mate is the typical win-lose scenario of two males fighting for a chance to mate. Females prefer winning males when looking at male to male interactions, which is used to determine the male with the best brood care (Jaroensutasinee & Jaroensutasinee 2001). In a study done by Herb et al. (2003) however, win-lose mating displays didn’t seem to interest females and there wasn’t a preference. Clotfelter et al. (2006) also discovered that the amount of time a male displayed to a female affected their mating…

    I used 3 test groups 2nd graders 6/7th graders and adults. The researcher used five optical illusions Eureka , Scary Faces, Animal Man, Horses, and Jesus (explain). I used a measuring tape to locate the appropriate placement of the tape which was placed on the floor to mark the location of where the test subject stands while looking at the optical illusion. Each illusion was then placed on a stand. The tape was placed at two feet increments, the last mark was 20 feet away from the illusion(DEMO). I concluded that the adults were able to see the optical illusions the best because even though the adults have lots of vision problems, they had so many life experiences that their susceptibility was high. My hypothesis was incorrect. The overall average % is; adults about 50% 6/7th about 40% and 2nd about 25%Adults 49.38%, 6/7 th graders 41.23%, and 2nd graders…

    So I was to do a follow-up experiment from this then that would be adding an equal number of participants like the authors said. I’ll try finding people from different cultural background, different religions, and different ages. Having people from different culture, religion, and different age group will help us learn about how culture, religion, and age plays a role in one's ability to keep a secret, act under pressure and their ability on trusting strangers. One of the other things that I would love to add on the follow up would be to give them the option to interact with one another more before they tell their secret so that people will have some background idea about the other, leaving them more comfortable telling them the secret. Also making sure that both genders are able to participate with each other, without limiting the research to being within males and females. Giving the participants the option to pick the gender that they feel comfortable telling the secret to. However not changing the method to calculate the outcome and the…

These tests consisted of fifteen long multiplication problems which were timed thirty seconds each. One survey was on a yellow colored sheet of paper, and the other was on regular white paper. The survey taker has to take both of the tests although one was colored yellow and the other was regular white paper. I then collected the paper and recorded the end results on regular white paper versus yellow paper. My teacher Mrs. Velalis printed off fifty of my surveys which were the regular sheets of paper. I on the other hand had to print the other fifty surveys which were yellow colored. There was a total of one hundred surveys taken and printed out. I then throughout the day went around asking my peers if they would be willing to take a survey. Some who did take the survey completed faster than thirty seconds. Some of them did not complete the whole survey in the selected time interval. My target population was everybody that was willing to take the survey. My random sample size was one hundred…
