Document Summary
Human and human interactions: we all form theories or hypotheses, yet most of us never test them using the scientific method, test our assumptions about people work: A common intuition beauty is in the eye of the beholder . When we test a large enough group of people, we find general agreement on who does, and who doesn"t have a beautiful face. Even infants seem to be able to tell who has a beautiful face. Beauty is not all in the eye of the beholder (subjective) . School: teacher training, behaviour management, working with children with disabilities, delays, or special talents. Industrial/organizational: selecting and training new recruits, improving morale, communication, and satisfaction. Forensic: apply research to criminal justice, rehabilitation systems (eyewitness testimony or line-ups) Human factors: apply research to the design of new products (their shape, function, colour, and feel)
