DISCUSSION

The results supported the hypothesis that a higher number of MHS VCE
Unit 3 psychology students will perceive an ambiguous figure of
woman/man as a man if they were shown pictures of a man
beforehand rather than if they were shown pictures of a woman.

The results were supported by the experiment that Bugelski and

Alampay conducted on past experience. They showed through their
experiment that when participants have previous experience in a
picture, it influenced which figure would be more readily accepted
when two illustrations were presented to the participants. With the
same principle, our experiment supported their theory, as past
experience (showing the participants a picture) influenced what they
then saw in an ambiguous picture, the majority said they saw the same
picture.

Hans Toch and Richard Schulte’s experiment concluded that of the two
images the participants saw, the more readily accepted picture is the
one with more relevance to the participant. This was also verified in
our experiment as the majority participants saw in the ambiguous
figure what had previously been shown to them, for instance a greater
number of participants saw the woman in an ambiguous figure if they
had been shown pictures of a woman beforehand.
An extraneous variable would be the having no uniform time limit to
the times that the pictures were presented. Therefore, one group
might have been given slightly more time to consider the ambiguous
figure resulting in them perceiving the different figure to what they
were shown, while another group had less time to work out what other
pictures might be hidden in the ambiguous figure.

Another extraneous variable is the context in which the examiner

presented the pictures. Because there was a male examiner and a
female examiner, the participants might be influenced by the male
examiner standing before them to see the male face, and likewise for
the female.

The first extraneous variable can be controlled by using a timer to

ensure all the groups received the same amount of time to look at the
picture. The second can be controlled by using a slideshow to show the
figure in the absence of any examiners.

All ethical guidelines were followed except for Voluntary participation.

At the start of the experiment, when a participant asked whether they
had to participate, the examiner said that is it for a Sac. This would
have placed pressure on the participant in order that they get a good
mark on the sac. Aside from that, consent was given by the
participants via consent form, and at the conclusion all participants
were debriefed.

A future research that could be done would be to test if the participant

responses were influenced by past experienced while they are under
stress or in a calm situation.
