| Two workplaces, convenience stores and hotels, were chosen to represent the service industry. One represented a cheaper service, and another represented a more expensive service so we could see if people's answers vary when the price of the service was different. The researcher decided to differentiate the two environment by price, because other factors such as size, locations etc. were difficult to represent with the chosen method. It was a challenge to find a way that can get answers about this topic from people, because people might not always give their true answers due to the social pressure they feel when they answer the question. Therefore, tools were designed in this survey to help with getting more accurate answers from the respondents. The researcher designed boards with two sides, side 1 had pictures of two workers in the service industry of different genders, side 2 had a table to keep track of the answer from the respondents with stickers. The figures representing both genders were generated with AI, with prompts intended to make them look similar to reduce the amount of variables. During the survey, the researcher would approach people of different gender on the street, and ask them the question "which one of these people do you think are more suitable to work in a convenience store/hotel". After the respondent made their choice, they would need to stick a sticker that represented their gender onto the respecting box for the gender they have chosen. | Two workplaces, convenience stores and hotels, were chosen to represent the service industry.
