Relationship between hair Colour and Gender

Methods: Participants from York University Ecology laboratory were used in the study. The experimenter collected the gender and hair colour of each participant via self-report. A gender binary of male and female was used. Hair colour was categorized as black, red, blonde, and brown.Hypothesis: There will be a higher frequency of males with dark hair colours in the general population than females with dark hair colour. Evolutionary, the males who survived were those who were stronger and dominant, who could collect more resources. Males with darker hair colour were viewed as more attractive to females because it reflected their ability to acquire resources.Predictions: I predict that in the laboratory the number of males with a dark hair colour will outnumber the number of females with a dark hair colour.
