Document Summary
Imagine that you"re employed by a local restaurant/bar. You"re talking with your manager one day and she"s lamenting that underage drinkers have been allowed in the bar despite grave warnings to her employees not to let this happen. She tells you that the bouncer isn"t always confident in whether the person in the picture on the id card is the same as the person presenting the id card. When pressed, he explains that photos of people with glasses are simply more difficult to recognize with any measure of confidence. You design a study to investigate this question. In your study, you use two separate groups of participants. One group sees a photo array of similar looking young women whose visible clothing is identical and who are all wearing the same style of glasses. Next, your participants are given a target picture of one of the women from the photo array.
