Analysis
After performing the procedure and recording all data, it is obvious that gender affects pareidolia. The collected data has proven our hypothesis correct. When a female subject is tested, then the time it takes for the obscurity to be found will be decreased when time for finding obscurities is a function of gender. Gender was shown to have an influential aspect on the time taken to find the obscurities in the image. As said before, pareidolia is “the tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern”(New Scientist, 2011). The females tested in this experiment constantly had lower averages for each picture, proving that females found the obscurities faster than males and have increased …show more content…
This can be explained due to the viewpoint and shadowing of the image. It can also be altered due to the fact that in the first image, the rose, the obscurity was in the center of the image. In the mountain image, the obscurity was in the left of the page. In the elephant image, the obscurity was found to be in the center of the page -- making it easier to identify it. Another common aspect of the qualitative data was that most of the female test subjects would often rotate the image or look at it closer or farther away. The male subjects would often keep the image at its original angle, but they tended to examine the image in the light. This observation was unique to benefit in the understanding of the male and female brain tendencies when attempting to confirm and seek the concealed …show more content…
Because this experiment goes hand-in-hand with pareidolia, paranoia, and attentiveness to detail, there are countless options for realistic utilization of this data. The information and research collected in this experiment displayed just how different male and female brains work. Knowing the variances in processing information is meaningful to the cognitive skills of males and females. Realistically, this knowledge could be beneficial to the career options. It has been proven that women tend to thrive with multitasking and communication, while males are higher performing with directional and motor skills. These scientifically proven traits are important to consider when trying to find a suitable career option. While each person is different, these characteristics are common within the general population. This experiment can also positively influence the understanding of paranoia. Paranoia can debilitate individuals through several diseases, such as, paranoid personality disorder or schizophrenia. Gathering new information can lead to the advancement of research and drugs to help with these diseases. It is also beneficial to understand how and if gender can influence the way that these conditions interact with the brain. This experiment has endless possibilities when it comes to the effective information and uses it
