This document outlines a proposed study to test the hypothesis that people normally judge others based on physical appearance rather than characteristics. A quantitative research method would be used where passersby give their first impressions of participants. The study structure would involve creating a hypothesis, deciding on a research type, listing variables, finalizing participants, planning locations, running the experiment, collecting and organizing data, and making a report. Ethical considerations for the study include participants being honest, having rights to review the process and choose participation, and maintaining privacy rights.
