=Presentation week=

in case you have no keynote program available, here is the exported version ( PDF) file.

for some reason I couldn't upload the file, so I copied and pasted it into the google docs and linked it here: [|https://docs.google.com/document/d/1P8QlgSv7Cr289PENxPRzRNZE1AVPmo09yu0v6FX4zJ8/edit?hl=en#] = = = = =JUST READ THE URGENT EMAIL BY OUR ADVISOR= that you guys might be needing the data to work during class hope i'm not too late ! HERE IS THE RESULT BUT PLEASE BE AWARE OF WHAT I SAID ON THE GOOGLE DOCS AND LET US KNOW ASAP :)

Asian: 1/5 European :4 /5 (agree) -hyunjin = = = How important are names in forming stereotypes in the US and in Korea? =

->How would people react to names ( what impression ) when hearing names without even seeing their appearance.
OUR GOOGLE DOCS ! [|https://docs.google.com/document/d/1P8QlgSv7Cr289PENxPRzRNZE1AVPmo09yu0v6FX4zJ8/edit?hl=en&pli=1#] ==

=1.Factors to consider=

: different names ( in english and Korean) would have some different impression.
->However, we (Hyeunjin and Stella) got approved by our teacher Mr.Duncan that it would be fine as long as we use common names ! =2.How will the experiment be done?= = = -> Give different names( famous names, rough names, soft names) and ask them what they think of those people's impression would be like. -> Then, show people's pictures with those names, see if the people involved in the experiment changed their thoughts

=3.How should it be done? ( LOCATION ETC)= ->The more people ( different age groups ) we have the better/accurate experiment it will be. In Korea we are planning on to go to 강남 (kangnam) which is the most crowded and populated city in Korea.

=4.Research Plan= Our plan is to have a list of names, some American, some ethnic, some average and some extravagant. We will show the list to about 30 people, 30 Koreans and 30 Americans, then we will ask them to give an adjective that we think describes that name. For example, the name could be Sarah and they described her as female and plain. Then we will show them a picture of a girl named Sarah and ask them if they feel that picture reflects the adjectives they used to describe that name. =Hypothesis= We believe that the adjectives given to describe the names will match the adjectives they would use to describe the person in the picture. We believe this to be true because of research performed in the past and general knowledge of the participants.

Feedback-Mike I think that the research question is really good because names are definately a factor in peoples' perceptions of other people. I think that the method for research is good as long as all of the pictures look similar. That way you can make sure people are only judging the pictures based on the name and not something else.

Feedback: (Hannah) I like the idea of your topic, it is something that is seen a lot of in our society today. The overall approach for the experiment part of the research and topic, you're on the right path and I think that it's good start. It's a simple experiment and I think that it will turn out well over all. It's a good idea for both asking them first and then showing the picture because we have so many people in the world that judge before they know the person.

(Nic) I think your topic is very interesting because everyone judges people before they actually know them and i think a huge part of that judgement is a persons name. You could possibly look up name meanings for each culture to maybe understand peoples reactions.
