Bias

During the winter break, I went to the San Francisco Exploratorium again. Last time I went there is tow years ago. Now it moves to Pier 15, larger than the one in Palace of Fine Arts.

I felt there are more games on social science now, and I spent most of my time for those social science games with Ms. Jin.

One amazing founding is my bias or my subjectivity. When I took 603, I thought I didn't have any and had a hard time to write to the reflection  journal about subjectivity. If I came to the Exploratorium first, I may have things to write. ;)

That game is really easy to set up. They have two sets of cards with some nouns on it. In one side of the table,the words "female" and "family" are in the same rectangle on the table, "male" and "career" are in the same rectangle. In the other side, "female" and "career" are together and "male" and "family" are together. Two players are needed to play the game. They choose a side to sit at the table. Shuffle the cards first then put each cards into the two rectangle according to the words on the card. When finished, change side.

The first round I sit at the female family side, I category the cards really quick. But when I chage the side with Ms. Jin, my speed is slow, I want to use the word "significantly" to describe the difference, even I didn't run a t-test.

I never know that before.

And today, one of my friend write she met a hot guy who drinks strawberry milk everyday. and I thought is that guy a gay? Then I found my subjectivity again.
