Extensive research fueled by the effects of lip color and lipstick on perceptions of attractiveness in women qualified BYU–Hawaii psychology students for the twenty-first annual Association for Psychological Science convention in San Francisco, California, this past May; this experiment was patterned to a similar version previously done at Harvard University. Coupled with their perception of attractiveness experiment, BYU–Hawaii students also presented on personal sacrifice in genetic and social ingroups and outgroups, utilizing the Harvard Implicit Association Test to accurately measure prejudice.
