=**DETERMINING WHAT GENDERS THINK OF PICTURES**= =Mary Grace S.= =2011 - 2012=

The purpose of the experiment was to find out what the two genders think of images. It was hypothesized that most boys will say “don’t care” and most girls will have a very emotional answer. Six different emotions were written on the white board (Happy, Sad, Mad, Funny, bad, and I don't care). On the computer, 6 images were show. Record the data on the white board and tally when the kids say what they feel for each image. Repeat for the ten subjects. Compare the results by putting them in a table. In the first experiment that was conducted the gender’s feelings were averaged and put into a table. For Picture one, the Lysol wipes, both genders averaged they don’t care. The genders continued the same when funny was the emotion for the upside down dog. Next, for the regular dog, the males thought the picture was happy but the females voted sad. Both the genders didn’t have good thoughts of SpongeBob, picture four. Males responded bad and females don’t care. Picture 5 was the tennis courts and got males sad and females not to care. And finally picture six of the tree. Males responded don’t care and females happy. In this experiment there were more comparisons were made. The first two pictures the subjects said all the same.
 * ABSTRACT **


 * CONCLUSIONS **

The male part of the hypothesis was proven wrong. The males were open and honest. The second part of the hypothesis was correct, girls had emotional answers. When a picture of a crying baby was held up boys did say they felt said. This is true for all of the five experiments

The experiment turned out the way it did because everyone was cooperative and the test were quick and easy. Everyone was open to tell their true answer and it was done with no problems. If the experiment were to be changed, something that could have been done better would be the number of people used. In some experiment it felt like too many people were in them and others too little. In the future it would be good to expand on this by showing videos, art, etc. So the results maybe different it just depends on what’s shown. Also heart rates could be tested to see how genders feel and possibly test the subjects later in the day to see if there is a difference.
