Dog In Costume By: Ella Johnson and Rachel Penners
Question • If we walked our two dogs with costumes on, would they get more reactions from people?
Abstract • We knew that most people love dogs and would think they were cute if they had costumes on. We were wondering if more people would react with costumes or not.
Hypothesis • If we walked our dogs with the costumes, then we’dget more people to notice our dogs and react.
Experimental Procedure • Sunday, April 22 at 11:45 • We walked them around in the Rose Garden by Lake Harriet. • Whenever we saw someone walking, biking, driving, etc. We counted if people would smile, laugh or comment when they looked at our dogs.
Controlled Variable • We walked our dogs without the costumes for 15 minutes to see how many people would react.
Experimental Variable • We walked our dog with the costumes for 15 minutes to see how many people would react.
Conclusion • Our hypothesis was correct because people have been habituated to seeing dogs, but not dogs with costumes. However, it was barely right because during the without costumes part, the Golden Retriever, Daisy, ran into the street and many cars had to stop for her.
Further Research • We could walked them in a different area and see how different groups react. • We could test how people react to seeing people in costumes. • It is related to classical conditioning because people associate seeing dogs in costumes with something interesting or unusual happening.
