Abstract
Research of social perception has shown that peoples perceptions of others are due to the persons psychical appearance and background. A background such as being a convicted felon might effect the way that people perceive and interact with them in society. As part of an independent group design, 29 college students ( 5 men, 24 women) read two fictitious scenarios about comfortableness and social percpetions of felons and non-felons. Interestingly, the participants had a tendency to feel more comfortable with the scenarios that described a non felon.
