=// Covered Up //= Q from Mrs. Gorski: How will your subjects answer the first question? Also with a sticker? Have you checked your location yet to see if you are allowed to set up your posters? Is there a place where you can film your subjects unobserved? Remember that you are obligated to protect your subject's right to privacy; is being secretly videotaped a violation of this right? Question from Kegan - How will the people answering the questions find them to begin with? Will there be some kind of representative with the magazines? Question from Max: Can you video tape people without their consent for research purposes? Comment from Ian: You probably shouldn't video tape but rather sit in a chair nearby and count genders. Also be sure to be extremely specific with directions by the posters. Some people may try to mess with the results. Comment from Katy: I agree with Ian. You're going to have to have very clear directions and you'll have to observe to be sure people are actually following them. Comment from Blake: Which magazines specifically? People may be biased to certain magazines. Comment from Andy. Going off of what Blake said: Will these magazines both be of the same subject (ex: fashion)? Comment from Kristen: To take away the problem of finding atractiveness in the face, maybe you could cover up the faces so they can only look at the body?

//**Literature Review:

My Final Report:

My Final PowerPoint Presentation:

Materials required**:// same magazine covers, video camera, stickers //**Setup:**// 1. We will go to the local mall on a Saturday and post posters with magazine covers in random order. These will include conservatively dressed models and less-conservatively dressed female models. We will likely use American magazine covers.

2. Underneath the magazine covers will be stickers and a question **(two questions):** Which magazine cover appeals to you most? **Which magazine cover least appeals to you?** Stick the sticker to that cover.

3. From afar, we will videotape the responses to distinguish between male and female counts or any invalid stickers.

4. Record the number of men who vote for certain female-model covers and vice versa.


 * Hey Jessica and Jennifer, this is Wivine. After re examining our setup, it was proposed to me that we have people place a checkmark next to the most and least attractive person on a sheet of paper. Here's what I came up with. I hope this person works because it was the only one I could find in different styles of clothing . And how about we do 50 people?

//**Hypotheses:**// 1. The Korean men population prefers more conservatively dressed female models whereas the Korean women population prefers more revealing models. 2. American men and women prefer more revealing models. 3. Generally, men prefer more revealing models while women prefer more conservative models.

//**Possible confounding variables (also things that need to be solved through revisions):**//
 * The model's face will likely be different in each magazine cover, so attractiveness might be found in the face and not necessarily the body.
 * Since it is in a public area and passerby may watch, females/males might be pressured to choose the more conservatively dressed magazine model.
 * The magazine headlines/layout may affect the visual appeal of the cover. Likely, we will block that information out.

//**Communication:**// Our main form of communication for this project is e-mail and Skype.

//**Tentative dates:**// Send research method plan to Wivine: March 19th 2010 Revisions by Wivine over the weekend: March 20th-21st 2010 Actual experiment date TBD
