Favorite Color

In this color study females reported a favorite color significantly more often than males. Males preferred bright colors significantly more than females, with a converse finding for preference for soft colors. The 276 subjects, when asked to evaluate the attractiveness of stimulus models in photographs, gave as the reason color significantly more often than style of clothing or facial expressions. Subjects significantly concurred with expert choices of recommended and nonrecommended colors in five of the six sets of photographs. This study lends credence that wearing recommended colors makes a difference in judgments of what looks best by subjects over the age of 12.

Favorite Color

Three studies investigated a reported preference for humans to choose blue and seven in a free choice. Such preferences were compared against 109 respondents' favorite color and number. The conditional relationship between color and number was examined. The results replicate the earlier reports of a preference for blue and seven. Generally blue was chosen as the respondents' favorite color. No conditional relationship between blue and seven was observed.

Question Intonation

ABSTRACTIn order to find out if more women than men use rising intonation when they answer questions to which only they have the answer, 154 men and 16 women were approached by either a male or a female interviewer and asked either where they were born or what their favorite color was. Both sexes used straight rising intonation rarely and equally. Women used a rise–fall–rise pattern more than men only when they were approached by a female interviewer. The ‘meaning’ to the speakers themselves of the three contours used is difficult to ascertain since lexical frames provided by some speakers often contradicted the meanings previously attributed to the contours by other writers.Listeners' associations with the contours were tested with a matched guise tape of three male and three female voices each using each of three contours produced during the interviews (straight fall, straight rise, and rise–fall–rise). Listeners associated simpler rises with more stereotypically feminine attributes; they associated the female voices with feminine attributes regardless of the contour used; and they associated both male and female voices with more stereotypically feminine attributes when the speakers used the straight rise contour. In light of the lack of production evidence in this study to account for the source of these 30 listeners' associations of terminal rises with feminine attributes, some other possibilities are proposed to account for the associational ties.

Favorite Color

A sample of 2,500 primary school children and 943 secondary school children asked to name their favorite number (between 0 and 9) and their favorite color, gave as the primary school children's preference brown-five and that of the second group black-nine. These observations do not corroborate the 1941 findings of Eysenck, preference: blue for a larger but more heterogeneous sample that contained few Africans. Several interpretations of the phenomenon are discussed, including a greater awareness of school children of their cultural identity as they grow older, a sensitiveness to color and figures shaped by the culture, and mental traditions of the ethnic group to which they belong, etc.
