Animal beauty, human preferences and conservation

Thu Jun 25, 2009, 12:27 AM
The birds-scoring project is still going on! Please, if you didn't participate yet and have some free time, join in! I still need at least 30 respondents. And you will see 190 BEAUTIFUL bird pictures! ;)

-----

I'm looking for volunteers to join our science project: We study how human aesthetic feelings affect animal conservation, and how humans of all nations differ (or alas are not different at all) in such preferences.

What I'm asking you to do is very simple and takes only few minutes. A set of 190 pictures of all existing non-passerine birds (some songbirds included) is being tested right now. Here's a quick summary:


:pointr: Register on a given website, answering some personal questions; but everything being fully anonymous
:pointr: Watch series of 32 picture thumbnails before scoring itself to get the idea about diversity of the full set
:pointr: Score this 32 picture series with numbers 1-5 (1 being the most beautiful) according to your personal preferences and likes
:pointr: Repeat the process of watching thumbnails and scoring pictures of 32 until all 190 birds are scored

If you are interested to help us, please comment here or send me a note. Either way, I'll note you the website address and access password. I'll be very grateful to get as many respondents as possible!

If you could spread this to your friends or families, or journals, again, that would be very much appreciated.


And now a little advertisement :) Here's a list of our publications of similar projects:
:pointr:Noah's Ark is full of common species attractive to humans: The case of boid snakes in zoos
:pointr:We all Appreciate the Same Animals: Cross-Cultural Comparison of Human Aesthetic Preferences for Snake Species in Papua New Guinea and Europe
:pointr:Are Animals In Zoos Rather Conspicuous Than Endangered?

You can hurt me, but you will never take me down...
