Week 8: Perceived Less Attractive

Analysis:

Using the data from 1 to 4 on the 10-point Likert scale, I have analyzed the data which represents the population that believe they are less attractive than their friends and other teens. These survey responses also represent teens who find celebrities to be more attractive than themselves. On average, these teens do not feel satisfied with themselves and wish they could have more respect for themselves. By a slim margin (12% difference), these teens feel that they are people of worth, at least on an equal plane with other teenagers.

The majority of teens who feel less attractive than others know that very skinny models and actresses have unhealthy eating and exercise lifestyles. They disagree that kids become overweight because kids eat too much. An overwhelming majority of these teens agree that those overweight do not deserve to be teased or not accepted by peers at school. A slight majority know that a person cannot gain a pound or more from eating a serving of cake, meat, or ice cream. Fortunately, the majority of these teens do not show the symptoms of depression tested in this survey About 9.5% of these teens show such symptoms. The trend among these survey responses is that the majority believe they are larger than the most desirable body size.

It is important to note that the majority of data collected are from teens with high socio-economic status (or well-to-do), are mainly female, and have mainly spend their teenage years in the United States.
