My Research Methods

My network were used in:

*A focus Group (initially the concept of physical attractiveness derived from a discussion i had with my boyfriend and friends)

*Social networking; Facebook groups 

*A survey; ‘Survey Monkey’

Qualitative data: were the Focus Group/ Discussion- what peoples thoughts were in both the discussion and survey

Quantitative data: the close end questions I asked in my survey; such as age, gender and ethnicity.

“The more important thing is that the rich get to control perceptions of what is attractive. Extreme thinness shouldn't be attractive, but the rich in this country propagate that ideal through the media. The rich usually decide what is attractive for us culturally”  (Sample, 2008)

People in wealthy areas are perceived to be the most attractive

An article in 'The Guardian', spoke about a survey that was conducted on whether there were a connection in where the borough you lived in London, and how attractive you were. The results showed that people who lived in the more wealthier areas in London, were the most attractive compared to people who lived in Dagenham and Haringey, being the least attractive.
