==__**Research Question: Which gender cares more about looks when it comes to relationships?**__ ==

‍Research Plan:
Interviewees - 20 people from Cafes around 6 pm on a friday night ( 10 Females, 10 Males )

40 High School Students ( 20 Females, 20 Males )
**1. Gather 4 pictures of 2 boys and 2 girls:** __PERSON A from BOTH Genders would be generally good looking (in our opinion)__ __PERSON B from BOTH Genders would be less attractive (in our opinion)__

**2. First Round of Survey: We Ask people to select which person they are more attracted to/willing to have a relationship with ** **First round ( just show the pictures ) ** __PICTURE OF PERSON A:__

The more attractive person
__PICTURE OF PERSON B:__

The less attractive person
**3. Second Round of Survey ** Person A's description Personality: - Arrogant - Impatient - Self centere - Unmotivated

Person B's description Personality: - Polite - Knows how to appreciate others - Optimistic - Responsible

** 4. 1:1 interviews: ** __QUESTIONS WOULD INCLUDE: __ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">Why did you choose that person? Does Appearance matter to you? Would your choices change if we defined relationship as marriage? ** Appearance _, Humor _ , Friendliness _ , Intelligence _ , Height _ ** Rank these things in order of importance when it comes to relationships.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">When we survey both gender then all males from both regions would be more prone to have relationships based on physical appearances.
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Tentative Hypothesis: **

We came up with this hypothesis because we found out that social scientists define it as the halo effect because if someone is attractive, we see many positive characteristics of that person. Also, men are more visually oriented than females which concludes that men are more prone to look for more appearance in their mating process. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000099; font-family: arial; font-size: 12px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">[|Male and Female Relationship Dynamics] - Cindy

Some people may look more for other traits such as personality but we are generalizing results. - Age differences when surveying outside. - Pictures of different race. - Misunderstanding between communications. - Many people understood the rating backwards (may have affected the results). - Some teachers were hesitant to answer part 1 of the survey because they were married (circled person B most of the times). - In texas, there might be more people on Friday, but there are more people on Sunday in Korea. - Limiting people's choices because neither was not an option on the survey when people might've disliked both. - Culture differences in relationships and marriage - Different standards of bad quality traits

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">**Peer Suggestions:** <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">By Jennifer Kim: Survey is generally an inaccurate way of measuring personality or other qualitative data - one person's concept of beauty differs from another's - a person is not a great judge of their own personality - an actual experiment appears to be a more effective approach to answering your question, preferably one in which the participants are not aware that they are being tested - the survey questions appear to be too simplistic and unrelated to one another.

By Wooyon: The rating of 1 to 5 could differ greatly according to the person's level of rating so I dont think this is a very effective way of collecting data. It is too subjective. Also, you dont have your literature review uploaded.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">By JustinL: I think that you have all the things that was asked of, but I think that you need to organize your/groups thoughts. I think that you need to put a more specific explanation for your/ group's choice of hypothesis. I think interacting with the subjects might lead to a better experiment.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: arial; font-size: 13px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">By John Morgan: This needs to be a bit more organized, and use a diffrent way of rating. Like it though.
