1. The forum & main site will stay up indefinitely after MTurk shuts down in case anyone needs anything. I assume a handful of things will break after MTurk vaporizes & I'll fix it as fast as I can to keep the two main parts of the site online.

    If I dis-confirm their bias, then they have to do more studies to figure out where their hypothesis went wrong based on all their prior research.

    It's more likely they'll accuse you of being a bot or an Indian and toss your results in the trash as "unusable" because you don't confirm their bias. Pretty sure this is what happens with a solid 70% of racism studies.

    Oh. Damn. That would be the most accurate prediction of what they would do.

    Bad academics. Bad. It's always your study and data collection methods, never your participants!

    It's okay to not be attracted to someone. What's not okay, is HATING that person for their skin tone.

    My motto: Even when it is the participants, it's still the academics.

    I'm personally waiting for the day food makes it into those. Like they show you a picture of balut and a cheeseburger and they call you racist after choosing the burger

    Light hearted memes about the dubious nature of data quality for online psychology studies.

    So many decades of studies have shown that familiarity breeds attraction.

    Therefore if you grow up in a community that has X or X and Y as the predominant races, it stands to reason (and proven studies) that you're going to find that more attractive.

    But that's not racism. That's just familiarity.

    I grew up in a heavily White and Hispanic area (well, from 14-18) so that's what I found attractive for my early years. Then I moved to SF and holy smoly...Hawt knows no race. Or gender. It's all fluid. Thank goodness I moved.
