Psychology Study Needs Participant
I'm performing a study for my Psychology class on the effect of a person's name on other people's first impressions. I need 1 (one) Caucasian male to provide the following:
1 (one) picture of your face
your first name
of the following, six adjectives which you think best describe you;
able
accepting
adaptable
bold
brave
calm
caring
cheerful
clever
complex
confident
dependable
dignified
energetic
extroverted
friendly
giving
happy
helpful
idealistic
independent
ingenious
intelligent
introverted
kind
knowledgeable
logical
loving
mature
modest
nervous
observant
organized
patient
powerful
proud
quiet
reflective
relaxed
religious
responsive
searching
self-assertive
self-conscious
sensible
sentimental
shy
silly
spontaneous
sympathetic
tense
trustworthy
warm
wise
witty
I will be testing six different groups of people. Each group will receive the adjectives, the picture, and a name. One group will have your name, four will have a different first name given to them, and one will not get any name. Each group will be asked to use six of the adjectives to describe the person they see. In this way, I will be able to compare the results with your choices, looking for correlations. I expect to see fluctuations between groups based upon the names.
Naturally, you will remain as anonymous as possible. If you'd like, I can contact you with the study's results when it is finished. If you have any additional questions, don't hesitate (I'm sure that I've left out SOMETHING.) Thank you for your help!
