Type of graph for the relation between height and attractiveness: A social psychologist studied the effect of height on perceived overall attractiveness. Students were recruited to come to a research laboratory in pairs. The pairs sat together in the waiting room for several minutes and then were brought to separate rooms, where their heights were measured. They also filled out a questionnaire that asked, among other things, that they rate the attractiveness of the person who had been sitting with them in the waiting room on a scale of 1 to 10.

Scatterplot of daily cycling distances and type of climb: Every summer, the touring company America by Bicycle conducts its Cross-Country Challenge, a 7-week bicycle journey across the United States from San Francisco, California, to Portsmouth, New Hampshire. At some point during the trip, the exhausted cyclists usually start to complain that the organizers are purposely planning for days with lots of hill and mountain climbing to coincide with longer distances. The tour staff counter that no relation exists between climbs and mileage and that the route is organized based on practicalities, such as the location of towns in which riders can stay. The organizers who planned the route (and who also own the company) say that they actually tried to reduce the mileage on the days with the worst climbs. Here are the approximate daily mileages and climbs (in vertical feet), as estimated from one rider’s bicycle computer.

Question

Scatterplot of gross domestic product and education levels: The Group of Eight (G8) consists of many of the major world economic powers. It meets annually to discuss pressing world problems. In 2013, for example, the G8 met in the United Kingdom with an agenda that included international security. Decisions made by G8 nations can have a global impact; in fact, the eight nations that make up the membership reportedly account for almost two-thirds of the world’s economic output. Here are data for seven of the eight G8 nations for gross domestic product (GDP) in 2004 and a measure of education. The measure of education is the percentage of the population between the ages of 25 and 64 that had at least one university degree (Sherman, Honegger, & McGivern, 2003). No data point for education in Russia was available, so Russia is not included.

Time series plot of organ donations: The Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) is a nonprofit organization that compiles data from a range of institutions—from governmental organizations, to hospitals, to universities. Among the many topics that interest public health specialists is the problem of low levels of organ donation. Medical advances have led to ever-increasing rates of transplantation, but organ donation has not kept up with doctors’ ability to perform more sophisticated and more complicated surgeries. Data reported by CIHI (https://secure.cihi.ca/free_products/2011_CORR_Annua_Report_EN.pdf, 2011) provide Canadian transplantation and donation rates for 2001–2010. Here are the donor rates per million in the population; these numbers include only deceased donors.

Bar graph of alumni donation rates at different kinds of universities: U.S. universities are concerned with increasing the percentage of alumni who donate to the school because alumni donation rate is a factor in the U.S. News & World Report’s university rankings. What role might type of university play in alumni donation rates? U.S. News & World Report ranks private national universities, public national universities, and private liberal arts colleges (http://www.usnews.com/education/best-colleges/the-short-list-college/articles/2012/12/18/10-colleges-with-the-most-alumni-donors). National universities tend to focus on graduate education and research, whereas liberal arts colleges tend to focus on undergraduate education. Here are the 2011 alumni donation rates for the top 10 schools on this variable. With the exception of Princeton, a private national university, all of these institutions are private liberal arts colleges.

Bar graph versus time series plot of graduate school mentoring: Johnson, Koch, Fallow, and Huwe (2000) conducted a study of mentoring in two types of psychology doctoral programs: experimental and clinical. Students who graduated from the two types of programs were asked whether they had a faculty mentor while in graduate school. In response, 48.00% of clinical psychology students who graduated between 1945 and 1950 and 62.31% who graduated between 1996 and 1998 reported having had a mentor; 78.26% of experimental psychology students who graduated between 1945 and 1950 and 78.79% who graduated between 1996 and 1998 reported having had a mentor.

Software defaults of graphing programs that portray satisfaction with graduate advisors: The 2000 National Doctoral Program Survey asked 32,000 current and recent Ph.D. students in the United States, across all disciplines, to respond to the statement “I am satisfied with my advisor.” The researchers calculated the percentage of students who responded “agree” or “strongly agree”: current students, 87%; recent graduates, 86%; former students who left without completing the Ph.D., 48%.

Software defaults of graphing programs for depicting the “world’s deepest” trash bin: The car company Volkswagen has sponsored a “fun theory” campaign in recent years in which ordinary behaviors are given game-like incentives to promote pro-social behaviors such as recycling or obeying the speed limit (http://www.thefuntheory.com/). In one example, Volkswagen created a seemingly super-deep trash bin; when a person would throw something out, a high-pitched whistling sound played for 7 seconds, culminating in a far-off-sounding boom, as if the item had fallen for hundreds of feet! The fun-theory people collected data; in a single day, 72 kilograms of trash were thrown out in their “deep” bin, versus just 31 kilograms in a nearby trash bin.

Creating the perfect graph: What advice would you give to the creators of each of the following graphs? Consider the basic guidelines for a clear graph, for avoiding chartjunk, and regarding the ways to mislead through statistics. Give three pieces of advice for each graph. Be specific—don’t just say there’s chartjunk; say exactly what you would change.

Interpreting a graph about two kinds of career regrets: The Yerkes–Dodson graph demonstrates that graphs can be used to describe theoretical relations that can be tested. In a study that could be applied to the career decisions made during college, Gilovich and Medvec (1995) identified two types of regrets—regrets of action and regrets of inaction—and proposed that their intensity changes over time. You can think of these as Type I regrets—things you have done that you wish you had not done (regrets of action)—and Type II regrets—things you have not done that you wish you had done (regrets of inaction). The researchers suggested a theoretical relation between the variables that might look something like the graph below.

Multivariable graphs and shipwrecks: The cliché “women and children first” originated in part because of the Titanic captain’s famous directive as his ship was sinking. Yet, the cliché is not grounded in reality. See the multivariable graph below.
A review of 18 large shipwrecks from 1852 to 2011 suggests that crew members and male passengers survive at higher rates than women and children. Shipwrecks like the Titanic, in which the captain ordered “women and children first,” are famous exceptions.
