What was all that about?
This exercise is a continuation of an ongoing
project on the importance of candidates physical
appearance in their electoral success. So far,
there appears to be a strong relationship between
peoples gut reactions to candidates and how well
they do in elections. This relationship seems to
hold in countries as different as the U.S.,
Australia, Finland, and Mexico. Because we
want to capture peoples snap judgments, it was
important that you not be familiar with the
candidates. The photos you saw were from a
recent election in Brazil, where voters see
pictures of the candidates when they vote. We
will analyze the relationship between your snap
judgments of the candidates and how well they
actually did. We will then show the results in
class so you can see if your reactions actually
predicted candidates success at the polls.
