Karen Kong Chai Ni is conducting a social psychology project to determine if girls or boys receive more phone numbers by asking strangers. The hypothesis is that the person who looks more appealing will receive more numbers, and the girl will receive more than the boy. The method is a quantitative experiment where a girl and boy from the group will ask for phone numbers to collect data on who receives more. Ethics considerations include honestly asking strangers, protecting participant privacy, and providing small rewards to attract more participants.
