Subjects were selected and paired randomly. 27 pairs of boys is less than 10% of all boys. A histogram of the collected data is not necessarily symmetrical, but the sample is between 16 and 40 with no major outliers, so the nearly normal condition is satisfied. Because all conditions have been satisfied, I can proceed with a matched pairs t-test with n-1= 26 degrees of freedom at a significance level of 0.05.
We are 95% confident that in a sample of 27 pairs of male teenagers, the average difference between a male's self rate and the other's rate would be between about -1.65 and 0.39.
In conclusion, this project proved that the females tested failed to see the beauty others see in them; However, most males tested thought highly about themselves regardless of what someone else would rate them. Due to media that advertizes the embodiment of perfection, and society that follows it's proclamation, we are left in a world that does not live by the statement "beauty is only skin deep". Rebel against the common idea that perfection is a set "look" and that it is attainable. Learn to love the flaws that make you, YOU.

Our experiment is focused on the topic of distorted self image
Regardless of gender, EVERY person has insecurities. These results could be triggering to some. This project was done to shed light on societies faults when it comes to having a "fixed" idea of perfection.
Male
As a whole, this project allowed us to see how people are uncomfortable when facing their own self esteem issues and the self esteem of others. I believe, The concept of fragile masculinity caused the males to have a harder time rating other males. :)

Subjects were selected and paired randomly. 24 pairs of girls is less than 10% of all girls. A histogram of the collected data is slightly skewed, but the sample is between 16 and 40 with no outliers, so the nearly normal condition is satisfied. Because all conditions have been satisfied, I can proceed with a matched pairs t-test with n-1= 23 degrees of freedom at a significance level of 0.05.
