Because the main aim of this poster is to convey fears as something that everyone has, I needed to do some research into the statistics behind how many people suffer with each one. I looked at three different statistic websites for this, Statistic Brain, YouGov and PushDoctor. Each of these websites gave different percentages ranging from 18% to 42%. To work out which figure I would use on my poster I calculated the mean (30.16%). By doing this I am able to give more accurate information than if I was just looking at one source. The second fear that I will be representing in this poster series is Acrophobia (the fear of heights). I decided to look at the same websites so that the information I was receiving was consistent throughout. The percentages that I received were 23%, 10% and 4%, with the average being 12.34%. This is the equivalent of just over 1 in 10 people.
The final phobia that I will be representing is the fear of animals. Although this fear was number 10 on my list of fears, this is because I measured each individual animal as a separate percentage rather than collecting them as a whole. These percentages were 13%, 21% and 30.5% (taken from the highest ranking animal on each site). Making the average 21.5%.
