Tipper Behavior Analysis

    Everyday people are misjudged as they walk down the street, into a public place and even their own homes. Society as a whole and you are viewed by outer appearance first. This allows others to unconsciously make inferences and usually false conclusions about you and your situation. For instance, if somebody wears a ski mask and looks suspicious, others might

In people’s perspective, attractiveness possess a wide variety of positive personal qualities compared to unattractive people. Result from the study on physical attractiveness stereotypes show the attractive people had the most positive ratings. For example, they are judged as less disturbed, rated as happier and more successful, and more likely to be hired after a job interview. Thus, the concept of attractiveness having a correlation between an individual’s physical appearance and his/her achievements, abilities, psychological well-being and/or other status characteristics to create a perception is

Have you ever thought about how people judge others without motives or reasons? Well this quite common in today’s world. We judge people by

How does somebodies attire effects other people’s judgments of them? More specifically, how does attire of women influences others judgments? These are questions that take root from evolving problems in the world today. It is hard to give an honest answer because it is an opinionated argument. However, appropriate attire policies is a growing problem for society, there is a growing demand for equality in male and female attire. The argument is expressed in an article written by Laura Bates called, “How School Dress Codes Shame Girls and Perpetuate Rape Culture”. The problem is that women are expected to dress in a way that is socially acceptable. Socially acceptable means that, females must dress in a way that protects and covers the female anatomy. This argument that Bates explains, expresses a pathos appeal because you are allowed to understand the point of view of those who have been victimized by dress codes. The article also gives an ethos appeal because the article makes a person question their morale value. Questioning whether dress codes are equal or unjust and sexist. Reading the argumentative peace it is obvious that Bates stands against sexist dress codes.

Within our groups, we want to make ourselves look good and others look bad. This kind of behavior is natural, but the problem occurs when one group has an inordinate amount of power over other groups and uses this power to keep them subjugated. This causes us to judge not the individual, but the individual as we view him through the lens of society. “We conceive of each man … as being the human type which is suggested by his individuality” (p. 3). This type of judgement based on outward appearance is due to generalization in our heads. We have these generalized views of others because society has engrained them in our heads since the time we were born. These types of generalizations are what leads to us describing situations differently depending on what types of people are in the situation. We think of people as stuck in these categories and also believe that categories are firm and cannot be changed. This is simply not the case because “we are easily misled into thinking that categories which directly or indirectly are sociological ones are the only, and universally

“I don’t want you to get the wrong idea of me from all these stories you hear,” more likely than not, we’ve all felt this way before. Being pre judged often happens today in our society just based on the clothes people wear, the car they drive, or the people they hang out with and these are just as a few of the many examples. “ I have known the eyes already, known them all.” We often get judged before we even have the chance to make an impression on people, we’ve all seen it happen, or maybe we’ve even been the ones doing it.

People judged you on your identity even if they are being judged because it makes them feel better. For example in the book Outsiders by S.E. Hinton the text states “ need a haircut greaser”. In this quote from the Outsiders he is judging him by his hair and clothes he wears. Also the text states “ I have greenish gray eyes I wish they were more gray because I hate most guys with green eyes. He hate somebody because there eye color. That is an uncontrollable feature. After these statements don't judge someone on their style or on your eye color.

Most people do not understand what a critical factor tipping plays in the amount of money that waiters or waitresses make. There are over a million Americans working as waiters or waitresses today (Rind & Strohmetz, 2006). Servers today are in great demand and they generally make at least 80 percent of their salary through tips (Hesser, 1999). As researchers have studied how and when tipping takes place, it has been broken down into three main categories characteristics of the dining party, characteristics of the server, and server-diner interactions (Rind & Strohmetz, 2006). There are different techniques that restaurant servers can do to increase their tip amount such as providing the customer their name, being extra helpful, or putting

Have you ever been judged because you are different? Sometimes people judge others who are different than them just because they are scared. This leads to those who are different to become weaker. This is called discrimination, it’s a big problem in the world today, it also plays a big part in the book Fire From the Rock. Discrimination leads to people to think they are worthless and useless. This is not okay and this why discrimination needs to stop. Discrimination leads to people becoming weaker and vulnerable because it lowers someoneś self-confidence and become insecure, it hurts them mentally and physically, and it destroy their peace of mind.

This is what Judith Butler is describing in her story. People do not realize that the way it was years ago is not how it is now. We live in a world where we cannot dress the way we want to without someone saying that it is weird or not “cool”. Human nature is important to society. We are supposed to be able to be free and be able to express ourselves the way that we want.

Whenever we go to restaurants we don't really think about how much influence our waitress have on our experience in the restaurant. We subconsciously expect them to treat us well, even though we don't realize that they have the power to determine whether we have a good time or not. This story challenges the idea and importance of giving a tip, often time we don't realize the hard work the waiters put in to make sure our experience is pleasant. A server can do the bare minimum of taking orders and bringing food to the table, but it is the ones who actually put a little extra effort into their work that really connect to people and make them want to come back.

For this study, Terry studied thirty-nine college students (22 women and 17 men) in groups of 6-8, who were

This next study, done by Addison in 1989, was performed in an effort to control for attractiveness of the individuals. They selected 114 undergraduate Psychology students, of which 59 were female and 44 were male. Their ages range from 18 to 24, with a mean age of 19. They had them look at 25 pictures from a recent college year book and rank them on six aspects on a ten point scale. These aspects were masculinity, aggressiveness, dominance, attractiveness, intelligence, and strength. Using the ratings that the participants did for attractiveness, the researchers found 8 of the pictures, four with facial hair and four without, that were equal on the attractiveness scale. This made the attractiveness of the males themselves equal, and so any of the variations between the two should be because of the differences in facial hair, not due to the differences in the men’s appearance. Using these eight males the researchers then were able to compare the other five characteristics between the men with and without facial hair. It was found that men with facial hair were seen as being more masculine, dominant, and having more strength with a p value for all of them of less than

Many derogatory perceptions have increasingly been associated with casual dress. People are alleged to be less professional, less of a team player and even more

Everyday, we see hundreds of people. Whether we see them on the street, at work, at school, or on television, people pass through our visual field. Fortunately or unfortunately, we judge these people. It may be intentional, it may be unintentional, or it may be somewhat intentional, but we form opinions about people based on their style of dress.
