Abstract

Demand properties impact the pink coloration that deters the muscles of human beings. On the other hand, white color increases the rate of muscle strengthening. In the laboratory experiment, 30 women and 30 men were tested on the effect of pink color, either it would increase the strength or decrease the intensity of muscles. Each individual was required to look at white and pink color pigments, and they pulled a hand dynamometer. The original length of the pink strip was 10cm by 10cm, and the participants stared at the dye at a distance of 1 meter. Before polling the hand dynamometer, the individuals had to look at the strip for 1 minute. The results were recorded in a table, and the ANOVA report was also conducted. The experiment aims to discuss the effect of starring at a pink stripe for both the women and men for 60 seconds.

Introduction

The laboratory experiment is a technique that is piloted under very meticulous measures, and it is not a must for the operation to be conducted within the laboratory. However, then the test is done outside the laboratory; accurate results must be guaranteed to the researchers. The individuals to participate in the experiment are chosen randomly and afterward categorized under different groups of parameters. The mode of selecting the types of variables to be involved in the procedure are selected using standard approaches. In the laboratory experiment, some of the variables are manipulated, and they are referred to as control variables, while another group is left without manipulation. The individuals were asked whether the pink strip will strengthen or weaken their muscles; this group was the controlled variable.

Methods

The total number of variables in the experiment was 60.  The individuals were undergraduate students taking introductory psychology at the university. They were divided into two groups, the emotionally disturbed students abbreviated as (ED) and the regular class attending group, and they had not been reported of receiving any type of special education. A total of 28 ED students were selected, and the remaining 32 were published as regular class attending groups. The groups again were divided into 14 ED and 16 Reg. ED and all the students selected were reported to have a physically fit life with no health complications. The table indicating that the pink stripe increased the muscles strength to the men was recorded as follows;

Results

The study indicated a bias implication that confirmed the hypothesis of the research that the pink strip will be higher in men than in women. The weight of the male is recorded as 22kg compared to 18kg of the female. The weighted muscle bias confirmed the hypothesis on one sample, t-test. T (14) =5, p=0.3. Therefore, confirmation of hypothesis 1 was successful, since the mean weight of men was greater compared to that of women. Thus, the pink stripe makes male weaker instruction; on the other hand, it makes females a stronger instruction to the pink stripe, and hence hypothesis 2 is confirmed by the resulting values obtained. Under hypothesis 3, the impact of the study inhibits women, and the men only effect it. The ANOVA and t-test confirmed the estimation as follows.

Discussion and Conclusion

The gender characteristic hypothesis holds that men and women pose different psychological behaviors. The extensive evidence is drawn from an analysis of a laboratory experiment using randomly selected males and females. From the results obtained from the investigation, it is clear that men are muscles are strengthened by the pink stripe as compared to the white one. The baseline means the weight of men was 18kg while that of women was 16.5kg. However, the mass of male muscle increased to 22kg when treated under the pink pigment, while it decreased to 13.5kg for that of women. The results confirm the hypothetical characteristics of the demands of the environment.
