Two men had hair nearly to the bottom of the shoulder blades, and the other man had hair midway between the shoulders and the bottom of the shoulder blades. e Eight persons were observed with hair close to waist-length: four had hair clearly to the waist or longer and four had hair just shy of the waist. One man of eight persons was observed with hair to the waist. One woman had braids down to between her shoulders and the bust. fPercent of men (alone) with hair shoulder-length or longer. persons with hair down to the bottom of the buttocks, 0.0165%. One woman who was observed at Epcot had hair reaching several centimeters past her buttocks. She was dressed in a skintight "costume," as were two young men walking with her shortly after a Disney parade. She had curly blonde hair and appeared to be in her mid to late 20s. This woman was most likely a Disney employee, hired for her long hair, because we observed her once before in a Disney parade playing Rapunzel. We observed another woman on our second study in Magic Kingdom on February 28 who also had hair down to the bottom of her buttocks. She had dark brown hair with a slight wave to it and it was very thick. She was of medium height and appeared to be of Asian-Indian descent. A third woman was observed with buttocks-length hair, during the second study at

HAIR LENGTH IN THE USA 59 Epcot, on March 14. This woman had very long, thick, slightly wavy, blonde hair down to the bottom of her buttocks. Her hair was trimmed straight across and she had a large number of full-length fibers at the bottom. On March 28 we observed one other person, a woman with hair several centimeters down below her buttocks. This woman had wavy, thick hair, and a large section of it was trimmed at the bottom. This woman and "Rapunzel" had the longest hair observed in our studies. All of the women with this extra long hair appeared to be young--our guess is about 25 plus or minus 5 years of age. The population. The population on which the data is based is, strictly speaking, the population that attends US theme parks in Florida. In an attempt to try to determine how this population relates to the general US population, several telephone calls were made to the Wait Disney Corporation, including their Market Research Department. Those contacted refused to provide any helpful information, indicating that their data and results were proprietary. To test whether or not the data from the different theme parks was from the same population, we conducted three studies at Epcot and three at Magic Kingdom. These two theme parks were selected because Magic Kingdom has a younger children's image and Epcot a more adult image. A two-way analysis of variance was run on the data (Table III), using a statistical program, JMP, from Statistical Analysis Systems of North Caro- lina, for the calculations. The data show no significant differences between the populations of the two theme parks, but highly significant differences among the different hair lengths. The data also show no significant interactions, and thus all of the different hair length groups do behave consistently across these two different theme parks. This analysis suggests that it is appropriate to combine the hair length data from different theme parks because they do represent a similar hair length profile. A connection to the general US population was made by comparing the shoulder-length Table III Summary of the Data from Epcot Versus Magic Kingdom Hair length Shoulder to Shoulder blade to Waist to Buttocks or Theme park shoulder blade (%) shoulder (%) buttocks (%) longer (%) Epcot (1) 9.5 1.63 0.133 0.033 Epcot (2) 10.8 2.063 0.367 0.033 Epcot (3) 10.47 2.663 0.367 0 Magic Kingdom (1) 12.63 1.837 0.270 0 Magic Kingdom (2) 9.60 1.43 0.40 0.033 Magic Kingdom (3) 12.20 2.93 0.267 0.033 Summary of analysis of variance Variation DF Sum of squares F ratio Prob F Columns 3 470.717 310.72 0.0001 Rows 1 0.5312 1.0522 0.3203 Interactions 3 1.706 1.1263 0.3680
