  1. Angel and Demon Effect: Does Appearance Affect Reactions? Emily Reckmeyer Academy of Notre Dame de Namur 9th Grade

  2. Problem: Does a person’s appearance affect the way people treat you?

  3. Research: • Golden Ratio(Devine Proportion)-perfection • 1.618 • People gain more respect the better they appear and the better jobs they have

  4. Hypothesis If a person appears better then they will get more respect from people. But when photos are not used then the higher the income the more people will like the “unphotographed” person.

  5. Variables: Independent Variable-connecting the job descriptions with pictures of the people Dependent Variable-the people’s reactions as to how they compare the job descriptions with the person Controls-the faces or job descriptions provided to the various students Constants-the faces and jobs used for the experiment and also the presenter (me) and the manner that I will use when asking the subjects the various questions

  6. Materials • 5 photos and 5 job descriptions with annual income • Ruler with cm to calculate the golden ratio • Calculator to help with golden ratio

  7. Procedure 1-Using the internet, I found some photographs of some guys and create job descriptions with their annual income. The faces either followed the golden ratio of brow, eyes, nose, and mouth or not. 2-I will ask certain students (all females) to complete a survey in which they are ranking the options (Photo, job, or both combined) in the order of attractiveness. 3-I presented them all the photos, all the job descriptions, or both with certain jobs linked to certain people. 4-After completing all of the surveys, I compared the photo ranks along with the job ranks and saw the differences.

  8. Data

  9. Data Continued

  10. Conclusion As a conclusion, you can tell that most people ranked their options based on appearance, not necessarily basing it on the jobs given. However, the appearances varied per person and did not necessarily following the golden ratio. Perfection is different for each person.
