My results showed me that each person’s race did not affect who they chose the woman they were shown, no matter the race of the image. Although, the Asian women’s group was the most difficult for most people, this can be proved because the question containing the Asian woman that needed to be selected was the most missed question. But overall, every racial group I tested got above a 95% average. This may be due to an imbalance of data collected from each group, because the data goes against other experiments similar to this one; one experiment being the work by Kent State University psychologist Daniel T. Levin, phD, who had suggested people recognize certain faces by the color of their skin and others by their individual features, which semi-relates to how my experiment was designed.
I reject my hypothesis partially because all racial groups directly mentioned answered better than I expected. My hypothesis was, “...people I test will be able to identify someone of their own race better than someone of another race and/or …show more content…
My hypothesis supported the idea that the subject’s race/ethnicity would affect how they answered, which affected their result, hence, the reason for each variable being labeled independent and dependent, respectively. I started off my experimental procedure by signing up and making an online quiz, I then shared the link to others and added it to my Facebook, my mom’s Facebook, and my Instagram for a range of subjects. After a few days of allowing people to take my quiz, I used the stats on my quiz account to organize and collect the data for my project. The survey was successful although the data collected was partially biased; despite this, sharing the quiz link allowed me to reach more
