  3. Discography • She Blinded Me with Science, by Thomas Dolby • Words and music by Thomas Dolby • From the album The Golden Age of Wireless (1982; Capitol-EMI) The spheres are in commotion The elements in harmony She blinded me with science She blinded me with science And hit me with technology

  4. Lab Results • Laterality and facial emotion recognition • Overview • Google search terms • Chimeric Faces • References Indersmitten, T. and Gur, R. C. (2003). Emotion Processing in Chimeric Faces: Hemispheric Asymmetries in Expression and Recognition of Emotions.The Journal of Neuroscience, 23, 3820

  5. Lab Results • Laterality and facial emotion recognition • Hypothesis • We expect right-hemisphere dominance for facial emotion recognition in right handers • Results • Correlation between handedness scale and left-visual field advantage • r =.13 • One sample t-test to see if the average rating of right handers was greater than random guessing (8/16). • t(56) = 6.67, p<.001

  6. Lab Results • Illusory correlation • Overview • Google search terms • Illusory correlation • References McConnell, A. R.; Sherman, S. J., Hamilton, D. L. (1994). Illusory correlation in the perception of groups: An extension of the distinctiveness-based account. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 67, 414-429.

  7. Lab Results • Illusory correlation • Overview • Method • Group A (n = 26 members) • 18 positive statements • 8 negative statements • Group B (n = 13 members) • 9 positive statements • 4 negative statements

  8. Lab Results • Illusory correlation • Hypothesis • Minority event + negative attribute will get noticed and result in less favourable ratings for Group B • Results Positive Attributes Negative Attributes Group A Group B Group A Group B 20.0 14.4 14.5 17.2 t(61) = 7.27, p<.001 t(61) = -3.39, p<.001

  9. Lab Results • Body Image • Overview • Google search terms • Body image and self perception • References Working on it….

  10. Lab Results • Illusory correlation • Hypothesis • Women will rate their desired image as being more slender than men • Women will rate their desired image as being more slender than men prefer • Results Males Females t-test Self-perceived 4.25 4.21 t(60) = .115, Not. Sig. Self-desired 4.32 3.05 t(60) = 6.43, p<.001 Opposite want 4.23 2.88 t(60) = 6.61, p<.001 Opposite desired 4.25 4.21 t(60) = -3.11, p<.01
