Research
For research purposes, I used the method of conducting interviews. In the interviews, I showed images of numbers and different objects to see how the person may act or feel about the images. I interviewed seven students. The interview consisted of five pictures, including numbers, words, and images. The interviewees were asked the following questions: what do you see? How do you feel? Can you describe the image? Do you feel as if you can connect or relate to the image? Do you feel as if the image has a message for you? The results of the interviews showed how some felt as if they could relate to the images.(see image 1)The relation of the images shows that some find a relationship with apophenia through emotions. Another result was how they felt as if there was a message for them. The graph shows how many students felt as if there was a message for them. (see image 2) Even though all the messages were not the same, they were able to find a connection to the image. The interviewees' results of my research supported my report by people finding something different and all creating this bias against something. The results from the interview and research, support my claim and research it also supports my thesis, and hypothesis. The results were that there are positive and negative effects from apophenia, it all depends on the trauma experience that the individual had gone through. My research does raise a proposal for my hypothesis and supports it also. It shows in depth how it all depends on the person.
