How Influential are Stereotypes & Prejudices on our Judgment?
Your Research Assignment and written reflection: Cut out pictures of two models from magazines. *One model should be thin and the other one should be full-figured. *Write a short survey with questions such as: -Which model looks healthier? Which model looks more attractive? -Which model looks happier? -Ask four categories of people to take the survey male teens, female teens, males over 40, and females over 40. Collect the data and compute the results. *Did the models weight influence participants answers? *In completing your written reflection, remember to use the same language throughout your research report. When writing the results of your project, use the phrase research shows” or research indicates,” not research proves,” since nothing is proven in psychology. Also think about other variables or factors that could have influenced your research, whether your hypothesis was supported or not.
