    Our last paper is an observational paper.You will be observing the behavior of 20 subjects.Ten pages-typed/doubled spaced/regular font.I want you to write it just like this:

    Cover sheet-does not count as a page

    title -your behavior that you observed

    psy 100 05

    your name

    dr.paul boccumini

    Introduction-behavior you have chosen to observe-why important to you/to the community/to society

    Hypothesis-“Men will return shopping carts to the storage area more than women”

    Prior research-you will summarize at least two studies that have looked at the behavior that you have chosen to observe-cite correctly e.g. {Rathus,2004} or {Bee et al,1998}

    Method-20 subjects

    variables-gender and ethnicity

    How/where

    operational definition-define returning the carts

    controls-you will be listing other variables that effected your observations e. g.location of the storage area

    Observations

    1} hisp woman singing with her kids in the basket returned it to the storage then walked away leaving her children for an instant.

    2AA man rode the cart to the storage area.

    to 20

    You will be describing what they are wearing and exactly what they did for all 20 subjects.

    Analysis-gender-men=10  7 returned the carts

                                          women=10 3 returned their carts

    Ethnicity-men=10-6 A’A’ 2 hispanic. 1 N.A. and 1 middle eastern-returned the carts=5 A.A. 1 N.A. and 1 middle eastern

    Women=10  8 hisp 1 A.A. and 1 cauc. -returned carts-3 hisp

    the hypothesis proved /not proved-proved=men

    gender +ethnicity=men+A.A.

    Then you can have up to 3 pages of tables/charts to represent your analysis-you must label your charts and numbers /not%

    Summary

    summarize your findings

    compare your findings to prior research

    talk about your feelings/experiences

    Recommendations for further study e.g. locations/time of day

    reference page-at least three proper format- last name first/alphabetical order

    paper is fun/enjoy
