美术科学

项目目标

• 发现影响人类美感的因素
• 设计实验显示美是否出自内

研究题:

• 何为人美
• 美能客观度量?如果是,如何?如果没有,为什么不?
• 美真出自内部

They say all kinds of things about human beauty.  It's "in the eye of the beholder."  It's "only skin deep."  "Looks don't matter."  But cliches such as these do very little to cushion the harsh reality that how "beautiful" we think we are really means a lot to us.  We're not sure why beauty is so important.  It just is.  Some say beauty comes "from within".  In other words, it's been said that people who are happy and have high self-esteem appear more beautiful to others than less happy people with a low self-image.  Could it be that beauty is not as "skin-deep" as we thought?  Let's take a closer look.

素材 :

• 计算机上网
• 数字相机
• 彩色打印机
• 典型办公/手工艺品(如纸张、笔和招贴板)

实验程序 :

1. 阅读相关题目概述(见文献目录)。
2. 设计问卷询问义工认为自己有多美(不是当时,而是泛型),规模为1-10
3. 包括年龄、性别、民族问题,以及可能提供进一步深入了解的任何其他问题
4. 随机采样支持拍照片的男女志工
5. 照片自愿者填写问卷表,谨慎保存每张照片并附相应的问卷表
6. 相片/口令分二等式组:半数评分最高者评分最低者评分半数者评分最低者评分半数者评分最低者评分半数者评分最低者评分
7. 要求许多人对每张照片中个人的美度评分 比例为1-10
8. 分析数据
9. 详细报告解释结果
10. 使用图表视觉显示结果
11. 显示整个实验过程所拍相关照片

术语/概念基本统计知识会有所帮助
