The class is Intro to Social Research. So me and my group did the project and we will have to write a paper. My part in the paper is the methods.I will upload three files please read them and you will know what to write about.
One of the files that i’m going to upload named ‘Mini project description’ please read it and You are doing the high-lighted part. This is what i have saide in the project ‘Sampling Technique:
We are complete observers. So we did not interact with the public at all and they don’t know what we were doing there.
Unit of analysis:
Is people. And we guest the age by visual cues based on current fashion friends. The way they carry themselves. The current social norms and aging features.
Sample size:
We each observed 50 people at each store would give us a good representation of all ages. The rate of people coming in each store was about the same because it took us all 30-45 min.’
Please read the files that i uploaded carefully it will help you to understand.
We were COMPLETE OBSEVERS
