Observational study

I chose to focus my observational study on gender biases (between male and females) that occur during the cleanup period of a meal. The observation took place on March 27th, 2016 in my home located in Montville, NJ. After Easter lunch I observed, for thirty minutes, the “cleanup period”—the period where the table is cleaned, food is put away, and dishes, utensils, and glasses are washed. I observed twenty individuals. Eleven participants were male and nine participants were female. The age range…

This study chose to, “examine the potential intergenerational transmission of social skills and psychosocial problems (i.e., loneliness and anxiety) among a sample of 255 father-mother-adult child triads,” (Burke et al., 2013). Burke, Woszidlo, & Sergin (2013) argued that one of the primary places to learn any kind of social skills is in a family setting.

1.) I would use a longitudinal study to test children in this elementary school over time. Since an observational study is based on collecting data from samples, I would design a questionnaire asking children how much time they spend on mathematical learning applications (math apps) and some representative math problems for testing their mathematical reasoning skill. More specifically, children are going to be asked by questionnaires repeatedly (6 times in three years). The independent variable…
