Discuss the relationship between the physical attractiveness of a political candidate and voters’ opinions of him.
You will design a EXPERIMENT to address the following topic: The relationship between the physical attractiveness of a political candidate and voters’ opinions of him. Design an experiment to test your hypothesis. In your paper, make sure that you a) discuss the existing theory that relates to your study, b) point out your new idea and clearly state your hypothesis, c) describe your study, including specific details about your manipulations and/or measures, and d) discuss the expected results and conclusions that could be drawn from your study, tying them back into related theory and emphasizing the cool new thing your study will reveal. Formatting guidelines: Use APA style guidelines (i.e., typed, 12-pt Times New Roman font, double-spacing, and 1-inch margins all around). Include APA style title page, abstract, and reference page. Be sure to use APA style headings and subheadings within your paper. Papers should be 7-9 pages long. They can be longer, but only if necessary. General writing guidelines: Imagine that the person reading your paper is an educated person, familiar with psychology, but not with any of the specific theories or concepts you mention. Even if you spent a whole class period talking about something and you know I must be familiar with it, forget it. Pretend I don’t know. Anytime you introduce something new (i.e., a theory, concept, methodology, measure), explain it in general terms. You can then give an example if you would like, but do not use an example as a substitute for a general explanation. Parts A (existing theory), B (new idea and hypothesis), and D (discussion) should be relatively short. The majority of your paper should be spent describing Part C (study methodology). I
