categorization, it misrepresents their view of the groups or individuals and results in all within the categorized group being treated the same way. This theory was tested through an experiment conducted by Tajfel & Wilkes, 1963. Tajfel & Wilkes study highlighted how lines of differing lengths, when grouped together are perceived to be the same length, but when categorized (by color change) the lines are perceived to be different lengths. Within temperature estimates A study at Brown University found accentuation effects happened when participants were asked to estimate average temperatures in days throughout the year. Typically, four days in a month were used, i.e., September 2, 10, 18, and 28, and the average high and low temperatures were estimated for each day. Results of this study found that when estimating the temperature, there was more of a jump in temperature estimates between months as opposed to estimates within months. Even though the temperature rises and falls fairly steadily with each passing day through the year, participants assume there is more of a drop in temperature, for example, between August 25 and September 2 than there is between September 2 and September 10, based entirely on the idea that August is warmer than September. . Within money Currency In Tadeusz Tyszka and Krzysztof Przybyszewski's "Cognitive and Emotional Factors Affecting Currency Perception" they found that although money is known to have a nominal value, the perception of its value is often accentuated because of emotional connection. In other words, people who value a certain country's currency very highly may presume that something may have a higher value if say in US dollars versus as if it is expressed in Euros, even if the actual value does not reflect the same idea. If someone has strong emotional ties to a country they may see the value of something being greater than it really is, simply because it is expressed in their great country's currency. Likewise, they determined that people that have poor opinions about a country or culture may devalue their currency even if the rate is inaccurate. For example, if someone thinks a country is mostly poverty-stricken it may accentuate this idea of poverty and so they may value that currency lower than its nominal value. . Monetary value Powerlessness of individuals is observed to accentuate how they represent objects with monetary value physically. This physical representation of the objects related to
