Lobster said:You should research honesty and anonymity.
For example you could have 10 people, and pictures of those 10 people.
Ask people to rate the attractiveness of the photographs, and check your averages.
Then ask people to rate the people live, in their presence. And see what happens.

maybe you should research internet users who change their story as they go along so as to not look like a fool in front of their e-pals :}}}
or maybe you should research how some people on the internet completely overlook sarcasm and reply with bitter hate filled posts ... :}}}
completely up to you friend ...

This irks me as well. I will normally use the other door.Sass said:This might not be what you're looking for, but I have a pet peeve I call the 2 door phenomenon.
When you're going in or out of a building with 2 doors side by side, people will only use one door. It's most annoying when you get behind a group of people who are waiting to go in the open door that has people coming out. Instead of opening the other door, they just wait. I don't get it. THERE ARE 2 DOORS!! Just open the DOOR!!!
Or when you're coming out, and you're crowded by people standing right in front of you waiting to use the door you're using. Why don't they just open the other door? Can anyone explain this to me? I seriously see it all the time.
And sometimes you'll get dirty looks if you use the other door, as if you've been rude.

Reprisal said:Something i considered doing but gave up due to failure to get a grant for it:
My theory goes that women have evolved to be slightly attention whoring simply so that men will look at them as a means of initiating possible relationships with men they find attractive, so
First step is finding 5 guys of varying attractivenesses. Have their attractiveness rated by a control group of women who are not participating in the eventual study.
Now that you have an attractiveness baseline, assemble a random pool of (hopefully) around 100 female test subjects. Put them into groups of 5 or 6 and have them discuss a dummy topic in a observatory setting. Install a decibel measuring device and a camera in the room.
Add one of the males to the group at random and then see whether or not the discussion volume increases or decreases and whether or not female participants make eye contact with the male at key times, like appeals to authority, answering questions, and laughter at jokes that have been made.
My hypothesis is that the more attractive the guy, the louder the girls get, and the more often they reference his eye contact in order to know he's being entertained by them.
It's a simple idea but is completely untested to my knowledge. Followups could include altering the observatory conditions and scaling up group sizes.

Sass said:Why do you call it attention whoring? It's just mating behavior.
WarAngel said:This would be totally interesting to do the other way too...with men having a discussion and then introducing a single woman of varying attractiveness.
