Countless Americans do numerous things today to save time. For example, shopping online versus going to a store to shop. In today 's society, everyone wants to do things fast and for the most inexpensive cost. So the analysis I had conducted was to determine if the woman in fact actually spend more time in shopping stores rather than a male. This topic is something that is interesting to study due to how many people actually spend so long in a single store without even realizing it. Also, I am a “time hack” junky. Throughout the course of my six years in the Army, being on time or doing things to save time is something I have adopted and mastered over the years. When I go shopping, regardless if it is for clothes, groceries, or even for household

Within the mall, we had to determine a gender neutral store. So the location that we picked was Aeropostale. The observation was conducted at 1800 on a Thursday, this way most college classes are completed by then, and high school sessions are also over. As observers there happened to be a sitting area right across from Aeropostale, so we all to a couch or chair separated from each other and began to collect the data that we needed. There were very little restrictions placed on eligible subjects, the only one was not going over 15 minutes for one single person. The outcomes were rather good considering the store we decided to pick. The only thing differently that would have caused for better results would be actually splitting up the stores. For example, doing the study on a primarily female store and doing a primarily male store. This way a true determination of the actual time people spends in a store could be calculated. It is more likely a male is going to spend more time in Footlocker or Champions then a place like Aeropostale or another neutral gender store. Same applies for females, they are more likely to spend more time in a primary female store such as Pink or Victoria Secrets then the location we …show more content…
They conducted themselves in a professional manner and did not make it seem like they were observing the individuals. The only thing bad about the group was communication. When it came to putting together our individual research and writing the paper, both group members wait till the last minute to compile their data. Being busy with ROTC and traveling to Flight 93 Memorial, Fort Knox, and Detroit has caused for a lot of conflict. I did my part of the project last week and was waiting for my fellow group members to send me their work. I will take responsibility here though, because I assume everyone does work as soon as possible and not wait till the last minute. This was the only problem I had with the group
