| Division: | Life Sciences / None | | Category: | Intermediate | | Region: | Pacific Northwest | | City: | hazelton, BC | | School: | Hazelton Secondary | | Abstract: | I tested 640 people in 33 tests to see if subliminal messages affect the decisions we make. I showed a video of a person with a "neutral" expression. In one video I flashed the word "happy". In the second video the word "sad" was flashed, and in the third (control) video "red" was flashed. A significant number of people were affected by the subliminal message. |
