What are my variables?

Post by New2science »

My question is: Will people who take a survey rating different celebrities rate the celebrities that were closer to the golden ratio higher than the celebrities that didn't come as close?

Good or bad question.

I made a survey that asked people to rate celebrities at a scale of 1 to 10. Each person surveyed was random so they were all different. I then used a app to measure the faces of the celebrities in the survey and the app rated the faces based on their closeness to the golden ratio. Can someone tell me what my variables are and how many experiments this seems like?

Hello there, and welcome to Science Buddies!

This is a good question to explore how humans interpret beauty in the human face.

I would like for you to make a first attempt at your variables. What do you think they are and why?

I think there are 2 experiments, the survey and the measuring.

Survey:
Dependent- Reaction of each person surveyed. (1-10 scale)
Independent- People taking the survey
Constant- Photos used for rating

Measuring:
Dep- Measurement of face
Ind- Faces being measured
