Abstract
While subtle, color is a dominant aspect and influence in day-to-day life. Colors can carry meanings within certain contexts, have associations with specific emotional states, and can shape how people perceive others. Four Olympic combat sport events, including Tae Kwon Do, require participants to wear either red or blue gear, as a method for distinguishing athletes for referees and judges. Previous research in this area has found that there is a preference for red-wearing athletes, with red-wearing athletes being awarded more points, winning matches more frequently, and being perceived as more aggressive and more likely to win. However, while previous research has demonstrated the existence of this red preference within combat sports, no study has assessed the relation of person-based factors to the bias. Participants would be assessed for color-emotion associations by watching clips of Tae Kwon Do matches and complete the Big Five Inventory. With personality traits being among the most notable form of individual differences, the Big Five traits serve as a good foundation for this expansion of research, due to their relation to cognitive biases. Paired-samples t-tests and mixed model regressions will be used to measure color-emotion associations and the relation of person-based factors to said associations, respectively. Results of this proposed study could expedite research into the relation color-emotion associations have with other person-based factors, inform the evaluation of judges and referees of combat sports and warrant consideration of changing current standard for distinguishing combat sport athletes in the Olympics.

This was a very interesting examination of possible biases in sports based on the color of gear affecting attitudes. It is already known that color is used to influence our emotions and perceptions in advertising and its interesting to see this concept further explored in this aspect.
I enjoyed this study and its examination on possible biases in sports with color, since it has been known that certain colors can affect our attitudes and emotions about something, especially in advertising, so it is interesting to see the concept explored in other areas.
I have always been interested in how color is associated in everyday things. So I feel as I really connect with this research, and how color impacts a lot of our daily life.
sounds interesting in how there can be an association in between colors and emotions as well as how that relates to a win or a loss.
I think any study involving color association is very cool ! I think for this situation, where it is a sport, it is even more interesting to see it from a competitive side.
Thank you so much for coming up with this research study! What surprised me is that color can actually affect how an opponent acts and how people respond to that. This is a very intriguing and creative study, can’t wait to see what the results are!
This is amazing! I have never truly thought about how much colors can influence our thoughts and choices in our everyday life. I love this idea! I cannot wait to hear more about this!
This study depicted the lack of Tae Kwon Do knowledge I have. This study made me learn that the color of outfits can depict people’s attitudes and change perception. The judges award more points to people dressed in red because that is a dominant color associated with confidence.
I hadn’t really considered the influence of uniform or gear color in combat sports at any level but after looking at your research poster, it is definitely something that I will keep an eye out for during the next Olympics. Very interesting topic!
A nice presentation, Donald. Understanding the human element in judging is an important and, in my opinion, extremely challenging issue. Personality dimensions are but one (although perhaps a very important one) of those dimensions. Intercultural work about color perception and influence on judging would be a very interesting next step as culture likely has a profound impact on such perceptions as well.
I actually never thought about how colors can really impact our lives. Now that, I think about it. A lot of times, I do view the person who’s wearing red to be more aggressive and I view the blue as a calm, cool, collected and strategic.
