Description

The purpose of this study is to find out if children will make teacher preferences based on physical appearance. The researcher will examine the responses of both preschool and elementary school children. Each participant will be shown two sets of pictures, one female and one male set. In each set there will be a formally and a casually dressed model. The participant will then be asked questions to determine their teacher preference. Follow up questions will investigate why they selected that teacher. It is anticipated that the children will select the formally dressed female over the casually dressed female. Additionally, preferences will be shown for the casually dressed male when compared to the formally dressed male.
